Nursery and Foundation
The Foundation Stage runs over the first three years (2-4 yr olds) and lays the foundation for future learning through the UK Early Years teaching program. This covers seven key Areas of Learning including literacy and numeracy.
Primary
The Primary stage begins in Year 1 and continues until Year 6. We follow the British national curriculum in Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) and Key Stage 2 (Years 3, 4, 5, 6), focusing on the core subjects: Literacy, Mathematics and Science. Learning continues to progress naturally from the Foundation Stage with a gradual shift from play-based education to more formal learning, with an emphasis on inquiry and independent learning. The work is differentiated to help each child reach their full potential with the help of their tutors and support teachers
Key Stage 3 (Years 7 - 9) - Ages 11 - 14
In the first 3 years of Secondary School there is a strong emphasis on developing intellectual independence.
All students study a common curriculum which includes the core subjects of English, Mathematics and Science. The Spanish Curriculum including Lengua, Ciencias Naturales and Ciencias Sociales are taught alongside the British Curriculum.
We believe strongly that students´ creative abilities are also nurtured through the Arts, Music and Drama. Finally, through our PE programme and extra-curricular activities, we encourage our students to enjoy being fit and healthy.
Key Stage 4 (Years 10 & 11) - Ages 14 - 16
During these 2 years, students study for the externally assessed and highly regarded British Cambridge IGCSE examinations. This includes a Core Curriculum, similar to Key Stage 3 which covers both British and Spanish compulsory subjects. In addition, students choose optional subjects from a wide variety including Art, Photography, Music, Computer Science, French, History, Geography and Business Studies. This curriculum more than satisfies convalidation requirements of ESO.
Key Stage 5 (Years 12 & 13) - Ages 16 - 18
Through the IB Diploma Programme, students experience a holistic education which nurtures the students to become creative problem solvers and independent thinkers- ready for an increasingly global society. The IB Diploma is world renowned academic preparation and universities often cite IB students as the best prepared for higher education.
We are able to offer a range of subjects including 3 languages, sciences, computer science, humanities options, visual art and psychology. Students in the 6th Form at the British School of Cordoba also study PCE subjects to complement their IB subject choices. We also offer Advanced Subsidiary (AS) Level and Advanced (A) Level qualifications for students who require a tailored approach to their education.
