An Enthusiasm For Learning
Our primary school curriculum has been developed over more than a decade and draws on the experiences and expertise of our Trustees within The Schools Trust. Lessons are lively, fun and challenging and provide pupils with many opportunities to think critically and independently.
Primary School Curriculum Overview
At the British School of Vilnius, our Primary School offers a high-quality British education in Vilnius, designed to inspire curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
We follow the English National Curriculum (ENC) , providing a broad, balanced, and engaging programme for children aged 5 to 11. Our approach combines strong academic foundations with creativity, wellbeing, and personal development in a supportive international environment.
A Strong Academic Foundation
Our primary curriculum focuses on developing essential skills in:
English (reading, writing, and communication)
Mathematics
Science
In addition, for Lithuanian students, we provide a Lithuanian language programme aligned with the Lithuanian national curriculum, ensuring children maintain and strengthen their language, cultural knowledge, and heritage.
Alongside these core subjects, students explore a wide range of areas including: Humanities (history and geography), Art and design, Music, Physical education, and Computing.
We also encourage students to engage with the curriculum at a deeper level, designing projects and learning pathways that allow them to explore subjects beyond the standard syllabus, fostering critical thinking and creativity.
Personalised Learning and Support
We recognise that every child is unique. Our teachers provide differentiated learning experiences to meet individual needs, helping each student achieve their full potential.
We also offer:
Support for students with English as an Additional Language (EAL)
Extension opportunities for more able learners
Targeted support where needed
An International Learning Environment in Vilnius
As a leading international primary school in Vilnius, we create a welcoming and inclusive community where students from diverse backgrounds learn together.
We place strong emphasis on:
Respect and global awareness
Collaboration and communication
Confidence and independence
Learning Beyond the Classroom
Students are encouraged to develop their talents through a range of co-curricular activities, projects, and school events. These opportunities help build creativity, teamwork, and leadership skills.
Assessment and Progress
We monitor student progress through a combination of regular formative assessments and structured reporting to parents
This ensures clear communication and supports each child’s academic and personal development.
End Of Year Expectations
In order to help parents and carers support their children’s learning in school, we have produced information booklets containing the end of year expectations for Primary school. Use the reader below to view more information or download your own copy for your child’s year group.
The information you will find documented in the booklets below forms the expectations that your child will be assessed against. We have shared them with you so you are fully aware of what the End of Year Expectations are for your child and their respective year group.
These booklets list key skills that should be in place by the end of your child’s current year. This is based on abilities needed so that he/she can fully access the age-related curriculum the following year. We hope that you will find these documents useful to help support the work we do and in helping us to ensure your child is achieving their potential. Teachers will share your child’s progress with you, throughout the year at Parent-Teacher Consultation (PTC) meetings.
