Curriculum

Broadoaks British School Curriculum

At Broadoaks British School, we are committed to offering students a world class learning experience. Students take part in a balanced and broad curriculum, based around the UK National Curriculum for England and Wales, and the Cambridge International framework, which is used in over 160 countries worldwide. This exposes them to a wide range of important global issues and provides a strong academic basis for future study.

Our curriculum is tailored to suit the needs of our client base. By following the National Curriculum for England and Wales, we ensure that the highest standards of international education are upheld. Additionally, we extend our students’ learning by further encompassing essential skills such as entrepreneurship as well as critical thinking and team building activities through our Forest School Programme.

Our lessons are taught in a fun and engaging way through thematic teaching and active learning. Assessment is standardised, with children sitting the International GL Assessments at the end of each year. Students leaving Year 6 will take the Cambridge Checkpoint Assessment, providing an internationally recognised certificate to mark the end of their primary education.

We take a hands-on approach to learning, ensuring a solid foundation is laid and individual progress carefully monitored at every stage.

Core Subjects

At Broadoaks British School, we place great emphasis on ensuring our children make excellent progress across the core subjects: English, Mathematics and Science. Daily lessons in Mathematics and English, allow children to access all objectives of the National Curriculum and relate their learning to real-life scenarios. Science lessons provide a platform for children to develop key skills in Chemistry, Biology and Physics whilst also giving opportunities to apply scientific inquiry and critical thinking through hands on investigations every week.

An International Outlook

Learning in Humanities follows the National Curriculum in History, Geography, PSHE and Religious Education. Children are taught to understand, respect and appreciate cultures from around the world. By focusing on a Nigerian State, a UK city and an international country, children are grounded in local customs and values, and are able to respectfully compare these to those of their peers who come from a number of international destinations.

Additionally, weekly lessons on Nigerian Studies exposes children to the local culture and history.

Forest School

Getting our children actively engaged in the natural environment is a unique aspect of our school curriculum. Every week our students are encouraged to get messy and creative outside. They are often set challenges to solve as a team, and given opportunities to appreciate the natural environment. Forest School is the highlight of many children’s week.

Music and the Arts

Our dedicated Music Department offers ample opportunities for our students to express their musical abilities. Children are encouraged to try their hand at a range of musical instruments and learn how to sing beautifully. They often perform during school assemblies and performances.

Physical Education

Sport plays an important role in the school day and the importance of exercise for a healthy lifestyle is one of the main aims of physical education at our school.

Whether your child likes taking part ‘for fun’ or thrives through positive competition, we aim to offer the highest quality experience for every student regardless of their ability. By offering a wide range of sports, children are able to find their niche and therefore find enjoyment in exercise.
