I & S Happy Kids Primary School International

Our Learning Policy

No Homework • No Private Tuition • No Exceptions. We aim to complete teaching, guided practice and learning support within the school day. Parents are encouraged to support children through conversation, reading for enjoyment, healthy routines and regular attendance—not through assigned homework or private tuition.

Assessment and Feedback

Teachers monitor progress through classroom observation, reading, written tasks, participation and scheduled school assessments. Parents receive appropriate information about learning progress and areas for improvement. Formal examinations and related arrangements are explained on the Assessment, Examinations & Awards page.

Teaching and Classroom Practice

Teachers use guided explanations, reading and discussion, demonstrations, practical activities, creative projects and supportive feedback. Class teachers provide the instruction and practice children need during school hours, with appropriate support for different learning needs.

Our Curriculum — Grades 1–5

Our English-medium primary programme offers structured, age-appropriate learning across Grades 1–5. We use a Cambridge-based educational approach that encourages curiosity, confident communication, independent thinking and practical understanding. The term “Cambridge-based” describes our educational approach and does not mean the school holds formal Cambridge accreditation.
