AIS Primary
Let's learn, explore and grow together!
AIS Primary School
Ages 5 to 11 / Y1-Y6
Committed to educating and nurturing all students, AIS has an innovative primary school, which inspires creativity and a love of learning. It is a school where children feel happy, valued and secure.
Our primary education is based on the English National Curriculum, but is adapted to suit our international student body; our aims are high, and our exceptional team will motivate and inspire pupils to revel in their learning.
One day per week is devoted entirely to the Portuguese language. AIS puts emphasis on learning Portuguese to enable students to communicate and be aware of the culture of the country in which we live.
Growing Brighter Futures Together
Each class has a main class teacher who covers the core subjects: English, Mathematics, Portuguese, Science and Humanities. However, pupils also benefit from specialist teachers who teach them Art, ICT (computer skills), Physical Education, Performing Arts, and Music.
AIS provides an environment in which pupils receive captivating lessons and are given individual time and attention due to our small class sizes.
Small and Personalised
At Aspire International School, our Primary years (ages 5–11) provide the essential foundation for lifelong learning. Combining the British National Curriculum with a strong focus on Portuguese language and culture, we create a stimulating, supportive environment where every child is encouraged to explore, question, and grow in confidence.
With small class sizes, dedicated teachers, and a rich programme of academic, creative, and sporting opportunities, Aspire Primary equips children with the skills, knowledge, and curiosity they need to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
Our experienced teachers and support staff work closely with parents to provide differentiated lessons and, where needed, access to additional support such as speech and language therapy or tailored interventions.
Stay Connected
At Aspire, we believe education is most powerful when it’s a partnership between home and school. Parents are encouraged to play an active role in their child’s learning journey, and we’re here to support that connection every step of the way.
Through Tapestry, our secure online platform, families can enjoy regular photo and video updates, track developmental milestones, and gain valuable insights into classroom activities. Whether you’re nearby or living overseas, you’ll always feel connected to your child’s progress and experiences — every step of the way.
Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.
