Primary

The Thomas Gall School primary course focuses on the holistic development of students and is guided by up-to-date educational research. From Primary 1 onwards, we fully integrate the Pearson Edexcel International Primary curriculum. Edexcel provides students with a solid foundation for lifelong learning with a structured curriculum that provides preparation for further studies in International GCSE Programs, GCE A level or the equivalent.

We aim to offer a variety of multi-sensory activities where children are encouraged to be both independent and collaborative learners. TGS prides itself on providing engaging, relevant, and purposeful learning experiences. Mathematics and Literacy are core subjects taught in the classrooms daily. In addition, we balance our offerings with Science, Art, Information and Computer Technology and Topic Studies. Our curriculum is rounded out with Physical Education, Swimming, Sinhala and French instructions.

Curriculum

iPrimary is part of Pearson's comprehensive iProgress programme for students aged 3-11. It provides a consistent learning journey for students and teachers worldwide, seamlessly connecting to iLowerSecondary, International GCSE, and International A-Level or GCE A Level.

Designed for international primary schools, iPrimary offers a structured yet flexible programme. It aligns with the latest teaching practices and provides the ideal foundation for future academic success. Developed with English as an Additional Language (EAL) learners in mind, it ensures all students can thrive. By partnering with Pearson Edexcel, Thomas Gall School offers students the best platform to build a strong foundation for their future. The internationally focused curriculum ensures knowledge is relevant and culturally appropriate, preparing them for success in a globalized world.

Teachers have complete access to the ActiveLearn platform from Pearson Edexcel, providing resources and teaching materials, setting tasks, and learning-related games for students to do at home. Students also receive their own login, allowing them to access learning resources and educational games such as Bug Club, Rapid, and Abacus. This interactive approach ensures that students can reinforce their learning and engage with the curriculum in an enjoyable and meaningful way.
