Primary School
The small school feel allows new children and families to feel welcome and a part of our community. Our Primary 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. Learning is not limited to the classroom but can also take place on the sports field, preparing for a performance, through a community service project or in any one of the various activities that pupils regularly take part in.

PRIMARY SCHOOL
Primary school is for children aged 5-11 years and is the first stage of formal education. Our curriculum is designed to provide fundamental skills in reading, writing and mathematics, and to establish a solid foundation for learning.
END OF YEAR EXPECTATIONS
To support parents and carers in their child's education, we have created information booklets outlining the end-of-year expectations for Secondary school. Access the reader below to learn more or download a copy for your child's specific year group. These booklets detail the skills that students should have by the end of their current year, ensuring they are prepared for the following year's curriculum. We encourage you to utilize these resources to support our efforts in helping your child reach their full potential. Additionally, teachers will provide progress updates during Parent-Teacher Consultation (PTC) meetings throughout the year.
New campus, opening in September 2023
A beautifully designed, purpose-built new campus for The British School of Vilnius with classrooms and learning spaces designed to help bring your child’s learning to life.
Let’s Start This Journey Together
There are many reasons why The British School of Vilnius stands out from the crowd. The main one is our community of staff, parents and students. We are very fortunate to have exceptional people make up our BSV community. However, it does not stop there, it’s also the setting - the building, the grounds, the location.
