Curriculum

Our curriculum blends two well-established educational frameworks: the English National Curriculum, delivered through Pearson iPrimary, and a structured French language programme. The French programme follows either the French cycle of study for native speakers or French as a Foreign Language (FLE) for new learners, ensuring a tailored approach to language acquisition.

Beyond core literacy and numeracy, our students engage with a broad range of subjects—including science, history, geography, arts, and music—through an inquiry-driven approach. The flexibility of our forest setting allows us to reinforce academic learning with hands-on, experiential activities that nurture problem-solving, resilience, and teamwork.

From the earliest years, learning is structured around project-based activities in small groups, reinforcing collaboration and encouraging deeper engagement. While students may work on different projects at different times, each lesson is designed to support their cognitive, creative, physical, social, and emotional development, to foster both academic excellence and personal growth.

Academic excellence for every student.

The art of learning, a taste for freedom

 

The English National Curriculum

The English National Curriculum

The English National Curriculum provides pupils with the essential knowledge and skills they need to become educated, thoughtful, and engaged citizens. The most up-to-date framework, introduced in 2014, ensures a high standard of literacy and numeracy while fostering an appreciation of human creativity, critical thinking, and achievement. It is globally recognised, providing a strong foundation that allows students to transition seamlessly into any secondary or tertiary education system worldwide.

While the National Curriculum outlines core knowledge, we recognise that education extends beyond these specifications. At FISP, we enrich learning in a forest setting, encouraging inquiry, creativity, and real-world application. Our approach ensures that students develop the knowledge, understanding, and skills to thrive in their continued education and beyond.
