PARENT CURRICULUM GUIDEUnderstand your child's learning journey.
Use this guide alongside the class timetable, lesson notes and reports issued by the school. Subjects and assessment requirements differ by class; parents should use their child's current class information rather than another pupil's timetable.
Nursery: language, number and everyday confidence
Nursery learning combines language, number work, handwriting, creative activities and physical development. Nursery 1 includes Literacy, Numeracy, Rhymes, Basic Science, Social Studies, Health Habits, CCA and PHE. Nursery 2 builds on this foundation through English, Mathematics, Quantitative and Verbal work, Handwriting, Basic Science, Social Studies & Citizenship, CCA and PHE.
At home, keep practice short and encouraging. Read a picture book together, ask your child to describe what they see, count familiar objects and practise a few clear letter or number shapes. These activities help parents notice what a child can do independently and what needs another explanation.
Primary: connecting core skills with wider learning
Basic 1–5 pupils study Mathematics and English alongside Basic Science, Digital Literacy, Pre-vocational Studies, Social & Citizenship, History, CRS, CCA and PHE. Handwriting, Drawings, Quantitative and Verbal work support expression and reasoning. Parents can ask the class teacher which topics are being taught before choosing extra practice materials.
For reading, ask a child to explain a short passage in their own words. In Mathematics, ask how they obtained an answer, not only whether it matches the answer key. If a child repeatedly struggles with the same step, note a worked example and discuss it with the teacher rather than completing the assignment for them.
Junior Secondary: a broader foundation
JSS learning broadens into English and Literature, Mathematics, Basic Science, Basic Technology, Business Studies, Computer Studies, Agricultural Science, Social Studies, Civic Education, Yoruba, French, Home Economics, CCA, PHE and religious studies. The move from one class teacher to several subject teachers makes organisation particularly important.
A useful weekly routine is to check that notes are complete, list approaching assignments and identify one difficult topic for each study session. Students preparing for BECE should work from their current subject list and examination instructions. Dates and requirements should be confirmed through the school.
Senior Secondary: choosing a coherent subject pathway
Senior Secondary study includes Science, Arts and Commercial pathways. The school's approved subject load is no more than ten subjects. For Science, Agricultural Science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics are core science subjects; Further Mathematics or Geography forms a subject choice, with Economics available as an additional elective within the approved load. Final combinations should be confirmed with the school so that they match the student's pathway.
Subject labels also depend on the class: SS1 uses Computer and GSM Hardware Repair, while SS2 and SS3 use Data Processing. When discussing a report, use the actual subjects assigned to that student. Parents should contact the school about an incorrect subject or department rather than assume that a classmate's list applies.
How continuous assessment contributes to results
For Primary and JSS, CA1 carries 20 marks, CA2 carries 20 marks and the examination carries 60 marks, making 100. For SS1–SS3, CA1 carries 20 marks, CA2 carries 10 marks and the examination carries 70 marks, also making 100. A low total may therefore reflect missed assessment work as well as examination performance.
Review the separate components with your child. Identify a specific improvement—completing classwork, practising explanations or revising a difficult topic—and discuss missing or disputed entries with the school office. Keep student reports and login details private.
Practical help for parents
Our admissions guide explains entry routes and JSS1 documents. Existing families can use the parent app and login guide for help accessing school information. For questions about a class, placement or subject combination, contact the school.
