Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6)

At Cayman Prep and High School, Key Stage 2 builds on the strong foundations established in Early Years and Key Stage 1. As students progress through Years 3 to 6, they are encouraged to become increasingly independent learners while developing the knowledge, skills and confidence needed for a successful transition to High School. Based on the English National Curriculum and enriched by the culture, heritage and values of the Cayman Islands, our curriculum encourages academic excellence alongside curiosity, creativity and personal growth.

Students continue to strengthen their skills in English, Mathematics and Science while studying a broad range of foundation and specialist subjects. During these years, children develop growing independence, organisation, collaboration and confidence in their learning.

Upper Key Stage 2 prepares students for the academic and personal demands of High School. Students are encouraged to take greater ownership of their learning, embrace leadership opportunities and contribute positively to the wider school community.

Highlights of Upper Key Stage 2 include sailing lessons, residential experiences, Island Enterprise, the Year 6 Buddy Programme and the Central Caribbean Marine Institute (CCMI) residential trip to Little Cayman. These experiences help students develop confidence, resilience, leadership skills, entrepreneurship and environmental awareness while preparing for the next stage of their education.

Learning Through a Caymanian Lens

A distinctive feature of our Key Stage 2 curriculum is its strong focus on Caymanian identity, heritage and community. Through Social Studies, Geography and History, students explore Caymanian culture, government, traditions and environmental stewardship while developing an understanding of their role as active and responsible citizens.
Experiences such as Cayman Week, National Heroes Day, fieldwork opportunities and environmental projects help students make meaningful connections between their learning and the world around them.

Beyond the Classroom

Learning extends beyond the classroom through educational visits, community projects, student leadership opportunities, co-curricular activities and our House system. Students can participate in Student Council, House competitions, clubs, performances and sporting events, helping them develop confidence, teamwork, resilience and responsibility.

Preparing for High School

By the end of Key Stage 2, students have developed the academic foundations, independence and personal qualities needed to flourish in High School. Supported by specialist teachers, enriching experiences and strong pastoral care, they move confidently into the next stage of their educational journey.
