Cross-Curricular Learning

Top 10 Spring Craft Ideas

We keep our class sizes small (no more than 20 pupils per class), as we know this is hugely beneficial to our pupils’ learning experience. All of our lessons are taught live by our team of experienced Junior teachers that are there every step of the way to encourage a passion for learning.

Key Stage 2 is offered as a core curriculum package*, and includes a strong focus on cross-curricular learning. This gives pupils exposure to a range of experiences that reflect both a discipline-field and an interdisciplinary orientation.

Quality primary education

Class sizes are small, a maximum of 20 pupils in any class. This ensures that each pupil receives the vital teacher attention and promotes personalised learning where every child can learn and achieve at their own pace. Lessons are every week day morning of term time and every lesson is recorded. This means pupils, and parents, can revisit the lesson at any time, ensuring that no topic or subject is left without being fully understood.

A school with a vision

At King’s InterHigh Primary the vision is for each pupil to graduate as an avid and thriving young learner. They will actively seek learning opportunity in all aspects of their lives and will carry the requisite foundation knowledge and skills to excel in the learning challenges ahead. Great schools recognise that learning is lifelong, therefore at King’s InterHigh we reject myopic, self-serving pedagogies that focus exclusively on maximising short term academic grades. Instead the priority is both current learning but the equipping of each pupil to thrive in the long run.

STEAM Enrichment for Homeschoolers

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s more important than ever for children to engage in hands-on, meaningful learning experiences, especially in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). For homeschooling families, finding innovative and interactive ways to bring these subjects to life can be a challenge. That’s why we are creating a solution!
At After the Peanut, we understand the unique needs of homeschoolers and are committed to providing engaging, hands-on STEAM experiences that spark curiosity and foster creativity. Our programs will be designed to inspire young minds by blending fun with learning, giving students the chance to explore, experiment, and build confidence in their problem-solving skills. Whether it’s building their own inventions, conducting exciting science experiments, or diving into the world of art and engineering, we make STEAM accessible and enjoyable for every learner.
We will begin our STEAM Club for Homeschoolers in January of 2025. Be a part of the development by completing the survey found here.

After School STEAM

Our STEAM Explorers program provides engaging experiences through hands-on opportunities, field trips, labs, and college tours. This program augments the traditional school curriculum to provide students with meaningful real-world experiences in STEAM and the businesses behind STEAM products. These programs are open to 3rd-8th grade students.

Summer STEAM Camp

Medical Detective Camp by After the Peanut Foundation (ATPF) is an immersive, career-connected experience where curiosity meets real-world discovery. Held on a college campus, this dynamic camp gives students the opportunity to step into the role of a medical detective, working collaboratively to solve a mock crime using scientific reasoning, forensic techniques, and critical thinking.

Each day includes hands-on investigations and daily field trips, connecting students directly with professionals across law enforcement, the legal system, healthcare, and medical fields. Participants will explore how science is used to uncover evidence, understand human health, and support justice — all while building confidence and awareness of future career pathways.

Students will engage in authentic problem-solving scenarios, meet experts, and experience what it feels like to apply classroom learning to meaningful, real-life challenges. This is more than a camp — it is a launchpad for future scientists, doctors, investigators, and innovators.

Space is intentionally limited to just 15 students per week to ensure personalized attention and a high-quality experience. Spots will fill quickly.
