STUDENT JOURNEY

Primary School

Primary at St George’s spans from Year 1 (5 years old) to Year 6 (11 years old).

These years are often broken down into Key Stage 1 (Years  and 2) and Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6). At St George’s we have two year groupings, Mileposts 1 (Years 1 and 2), Milepost 2 (Years 3 and 4) and Milepost 3 (the final two years of Primary). Each Milepost has a Director who works with teachers to ensure that we are delivering a coherent, cohesive programme for every student. The Directors are also essential to our pastoral work with students providing the vital social and emotional learning element that ensures a positive attitude in the classroom.  

Underpinned by the National Curriculum for England, the primary section of St George’s has devised a bespoke curriculum, ensuring that learning is tailored to our school context. This allows for a Luxembourgish perspective to be factored into learning, while also recognising the broad and varied backgrounds of the students.   

Students study the core subjects of English, maths, science, humanities, French, art, physical education and music, while subjects, such as computing, food technology, Luxembourgish and SMSC (social, moral, spiritual and cultural) are specific to certain mileposts.  Classes are kept small at St George’s, with a very positive teacher/student ratio. The average class size in Foundation (Nursery and Reception) is 17 to 18 students, while in the remaining years, the average is 19 students per class. We also have teaching assistants who support the learning and management of classes, working closely with both our class teachers and our specialist teachers offering languages, PE, art and music.
