A Carefully Designed International Curriculum

Our curriculum blends the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and the English National Curriculum for Mathematics and English, creating a programme that is both academically rigorous and globally relevant.

Learning is structured around engaging thematic units that allow children to explore big ideas across disciplines such as science, geography, history, technology and the arts. By connecting subjects in meaningful ways, pupils develop deeper understanding, strong thinking skills and the ability to apply their learning in real-world contexts.

This internationally minded approach encourages children to explore diverse cultures, develop global awareness and grow into confident learners who feel at home in an interconnected world.

Exceptional Pastoral Care Through Specialist Primary Teachers

At the heart of Régent Junior School are our primary specialist class teachers, who teach the core subjects and accompany their pupils throughout the school day.

This model allows teachers to build strong relationships with each child and ensures that every pupil is known, understood and supported as an individual. Continuity of care strengthens both academic progress and wellbeing, creating a safe environment in which children feel confident to explore, question and grow.

Enriched by Specialist Expertise

Alongside this strong pastoral foundation, pupils benefit from a rich programme of specialist teaching that broadens their learning experiences and allows them to discover new interests and talents.

Specialist subjects include:

• French, with progression aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)

• Visual Arts, delivered in French to deepen language immersionSports and Skiing, promoting physical confidence and resilience

• Forest School for Grades 1-3, connecting children with nature through outdoor learningMusic and Theatre, nurturing creativity, expression and performance

• STEAM, developing innovation, design thinking and problem-solving skills, particularly in the upper junior years.

• A year-round Outdoor Expedition programme that immerses pupils in the Swiss natural environment, cultivating resilience, independence and a lifelong appreciation of the outdoors.

This balanced approach combines strong relationships with subject expertise, ensuring both breadth and depth across the curriculum.

Learning That Develops the Whole Child

Our Junior School programme goes beyond academic learning. Through integrated PSHE, digital citizenship and global citizenship frameworks, pupils develop the knowledge and character needed to navigate an increasingly complex world.

Children learn to:

• Think critically and creatively

• Collaborate and communicate effectively

• Show empathy and respect for others

• Take responsibility for their learning and actions

These values are reflected in our Junior School Learner Profile, which emphasises the development of the Head, Heart and Hands of every child.

They leave the Junior School with strong academic foundations, global awareness and the personal qualities needed to succeed in an ever-changing world.
