Primary

Learners begin their Primary education at 5 years of age and remain in this phase until they are 11 years old. The Primary School at JCS is divided into two Key Stages:

• Key Stage 1: Year 1 and Year 2
• Key Stage 2: Year 3 until Year 6

At JCS, we believe learning should be an exciting, inspiring journey that encourages learners to embrace challenges, explore new ideas and grow with confidence. We recognise that every child is unique, so we provide a range of learning opportunities that allow each learner to achieve their full potential.

Our Primary curriculum is guided by the UK Pearson Edexcel framework, ensuring clear learning standards, strong academic progression and alignment with internationally recognised expectations.

Learning is facilitated by a team of qualified and dedicated teachers who create engaging, purposeful and supportive classroom environments. Learners work in a variety of group configurations, from individual class activities to Key Stage projects and whole-Primary collaborative learning events.

Our curriculum provides a clear structure for English and Mathematics, supported by a broad range of additional subject areas, including:

• Science
• Topic (History and Geography)
• Art
• Computing
• Physical Education (PE)
• Indonesian Language
• Dance
• Choir
• Personal, Social and Health, Economic Education (PSHE)

These curriculum areas are enhanced through our learning framework, guided by the six JCS Learner Traits, independent, resilient, collaborative, engaged, reflective and creative, supporting learners to ask thoughtful questions, think critically, explore ideas through research and grow as confident, capable individuals.

Each Primary class is taught by two or three fully qualified teachers, one expatriate and one Indonesian, ensuring a rich combination of expertise, cultural understanding and language support. Learners also benefit from specialist teachers for PE, Computing, Art, Indonesian and Dance.

Assessment at JCS is continuous and aligns with the Pearson Edexcel learning expectations. Throughout the academic year, families receive and join:

These provide regular and meaningful insights into each learner’s progress, development and needs.
