A glimpse inside Years 3 to 6. The full UK National Curriculum — English, Maths, Science, History, Geography and Computing — re-rooted in the intellectual heritage of Al-Khwarizmi, Ibn al-Haytham, Ibn al-Nafis and Al-Jahiz. Mastery, not mention.
We've shared a few of our internal teaching slides per year so you can see exactly what your child will be working on. The complete curriculum is far broader — these are simply the moments we've found land hardest with parents at consultation. Click any slide to view it full size.
Vocabulary stretches; perspective sharpens. We introduce mastery in writing through narrative craft, and Maths leaves the page — into prayer mats, crescent moons and compass headings. Science draws on Jabir ibn Hayyan and Al-Razi; History on Greeks, Romans and the translation movement.
The year we deconstruct and rebuild — moving from consuming great literature to analysing it at top-set standard. Maths confronts the full SATs canon through Al-Khwarizmi and the House of Wisdom; History offers a global perspective; Geography links climate change to the Mizan. Children leave us not just prepared for secondary school, but ahead of it.
Computing at USTBAS is more than typing. Children learn the logic of algorithm as it was named — by Al-Khwarizmi, in 9th-century Baghdad. They write block-coded programs, then real code. We teach digital adab: online safety not as compliance but as character. Children behave online as they would in the masjid.
At Ust Bas' Academy, computing is the continuation of a thousand-year legacy of logic and the development of the ethical leaders of the 21st century.
These slides are a small slice. We share the year-by-year scheme of work, weekly reading lists and assessment milestones with parents at consultation. Twenty seats academy-wide.
