Junior School (ages 5-11)

Key Stage 1

During their Key Stage 1 years at Haileybury Astana, our pupils build on the broad base of experiences from Kindergarten and continue to develop their social, numeracy and communication skills through a combination of play and multi-sensory learning activities. Counting and number games are used, with a strong emphasis on exploration and practical work. Pupils, when ready, are introduced to more formal maths concepts leading to working with all four number processes.

Key Stage 1 pupils at Haileybury Astana begin to learn more about the world around them through a range of child-centred globally relevant topics exploring more aspects of science and introducing history and geography. With specialist teachers for PE, swimming, music, Kazakh language, performing arts and dance, pupils at Haileybury Astana experience a rich, broad and balanced curriculum within a supportive learning environment enabling every pupil to thrive.

Key Stage 2

As pupils enter Key Stage 2 at Haileybury Astana, more emphasis is placed on independence and responsibility for their own learning and behaviour. Pupils are expected to concentrate for more extended periods of time and to take pride in their work.

At Haileybury Astana, our Key Stage 2 pupils continue to expand upon their previous skills and knowledge and widen their horizons through child-centred globally relevant integrated topics covering aspects of history and geography and literacy. With specialist teachers for PE, swimming, music, Kazakh, Russian, Spanish, French, performing arts, dance and art, pupils at Haileybury Astana experience a rich, broad and balanced curriculum within a supportive learning environment enabling every pupil to thrive.
