KEY STAGE 1 (AGE 5 TO 7)

YEAR 1 & 2 CURRICULUM

Introduction

The first stage of Primary School welcomes children from the Early Years and supports them in continuing their development through a fun and active approach to learning. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is integrated throughout to enhance the learning process. A balance of classroom-based lessons, a rich co-curricular programme, and education beyond the classroom ensures that every child receives a holistic education.

Most learning takes place within the nurturing environment of the classroom, led by the class teacher and supported by assistant teachers. Specialist teachers deliver lessons in Music, ICT, Mandarin, Bahasa Melayu, and Physical Education. Meanwhile, Science, History, Geography, Design Technology are taught through our engaging Topic Curriculum, following the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) framework.

"KGSR makes full use of both the classroom and learning opportunities beyond it to offer a programme that nurtures future World Changers. At KGSR, we believe our responsibility extends far beyond achieving excellent academic results. We are dedicated to providing a holistic and well-balanced education that supports every aspect of a child’s development."
