BRITISH PRIMARY SCHOOL IN MÁLAGA
Laude San Pedro International College is more than a school, it is a community committed to the success of each and every one of our students. With a British education of reference, a welcoming environment and a language-based approach to learning, we prepare our students for a bright future from the earliest years of primary education in Marbella (Malaga) in our school.
Welcome from the Head of Primary
Welcome to the EYFS and Primary Education department. Our focus is on student-centred learning. This means that we expect high achievement from our students.
Our EYFS classes are a perfect example, as they focus on creating the best first learning experiences for each student. The teaching team strives to lay a solid foundation for the future development of our students, while empowering this early stage of our students’ lives, not only educationally.
During the Primary Years, learning is formalised. It is important to us to maintain a learner-centred approach with the aim of developing our students into confident and independent individuals, focusing on learning skills and behaviours, while increasing the rigour of academic achievement as they progress through this stage.
Whatever their age, we want the best for each and every one of our pupils.

British primary curriculum up to the age of 10
In our primary school in Malaga we follow the British Curriculum, which is recognised worldwide for its academic excellence and holistic approach to pupil development. This curriculum is structured in different stages, known as Key Stages, and focuses on developing fundamental skills in areas such as mathematics, science, English language and physical education, as well as encouraging creativity through the arts and music.
The British education system is divided into Key Stages that correspond to certain age groups and levels of development. In comparison, the Spanish system follows a different model of primary and secondary education. This is a basic equivalence between the two systems up to the age of 10:
- Key Stage 1 (5-7 years): Equivalent to the first and second years of Primary Education in the Spanish system.
- Key Stage 2 (7-11 years): Equivalent to years 3-6 of Primary Education in the Spanish system.
Key Stage 1: Year 1 (Years 5-6) and Year 2 (Years 6-7)
During Key Stage 1, pupils embark on their educational journey which forms the basis of their future education. In Year 1 and Year 2, children develop basic skills in reading, writing and mathematics.
Our approach focuses on active learning, where students participate in practical activities and projects that make learning relevant.
In addition, they have a first contact with science, art, music and physical education, promoting holistic development from an early age.
Key Stage 2: Year 3 to Year 6 (Years 7-11)
Key Stage 2 covers Year 3 to Year 6 and focuses on consolidating and expanding the knowledge acquired in Key Stage 1.
Students develop further in subjects such as mathematics, science, social studies, computing and English language. In addition, critical thinking and problem solving are encouraged through cross-curricular projects.
Personal, social and emotional development remains a priority, and values such as responsibility, respect and teamwork are promoted.
