We are delighted that our UK schools have reopened to all staff and students and we will continue to follow our published academic calendar. We also provide a meaningful programme of distance learning for students who are not able to return to school, in quarantine, or self-isolating in the interest of public health.
The ACS staff and parent community have created a welcoming and engaging COVID-19 safe programme—in person and online—with the imagination and determination that makes ACS schools such special places to work and learn. We are confident and ready to inspire our learners and provide a unique educational experience for the remainder of the school year.
We continue to exercise extraordinary care and use industry best-practice for COVID-19 security in every aspect of school life. We take all reasonable precautions. Here are some of the robust systems of control that we use to minimise risk and ensure the safety of students, families and employees learning and working on campus.
Small homeroom or year group (grade-level) cohorts stay together for most of the school day, and they use the same spaces as much as possible. Where possible, teachers rotate to work with fixed groups of students in their identified learning spaces.
We’ve carefully reviewed our facilities to ensure adequate ventilation and safe capacity. Wherever possible, students have individual desks, facing forward, spaced at 1m for social distancing (Grade 2 and above). Teachers generally work at a 2m social distance and engage with students side-to- side for short conversations. Where social distancing is not possible, we use face coverings, shields or modified scheduling to reduce risk of infection.
Specialist learning spaces are individually risk-assessed, and additional PPE is provided when a full, broad and balanced curriculum requires interaction that can’t be adequately socially-distanced. We provide a full educational programme of visual and performing arts, design, and laboratory sciences that follow strict safety guidelines of the relevant professional associations.
Teachers are prepared to support students temporarily learning from home while in isolation. We also have extensive contingency plans should it be necessary for large groups of students (or, in the case of another local or national lockdown) to learn at a distance.
We use best-in-class educational technologies and hybrid-ready instructional design. We support student learning regardless of location, easing necessary transitions between home and school. ACS schools have extensive outdoor spaces and athletic and sports facilities. These excellent fresh-air environments provide inspiring spaces in which to learn, play and compete.
We take full advantage of dedicated and informal outdoor spaces, including Forest School programmes and natural learning environment resources.

The education system in the UK is also split into "key stages" which breaks down as follows:
Generally key stages 1 and 2 will be undertaken at primary school and at 11 years old a student will move onto secondary school and finish key stages 3 and 4.
Students are assessed at the end of each stage. The most important assessment occurs at age 16 when students pursue their GCSE's or General Certificate of Secondary Education. Once students complete their GCSE's they have the choice to go onto further education and then potential higher education, or finish school and go into the working world.
Our overview of the education system in the UK is divided into five main sections:
Primary education begins in the UK at age 5 and continues until age 11, comprising key stages one and two under the UK educational system. Please visit the British Council page for more information on primary education.
From age 11 to 16, students will enter secondary school for key stages three and four and to start their move towards taking the GCSE's - learn more about secondary education in the UK and what it will involve. Primary and secondary education is mandatory in the UK; after age 16, education is optional.
