About Ardingly College UK
Ardingly Astana is a British school proudly established under the esteemed brand of Ardingly College in the UK.
At Ardingly Astana, we provide exceptional education for boys and girls, welcoming them into our institution as early as age 5. We guide them through their initial learning in Year 1 and continue to support their educational journey until they complete Year 13. Our mission is to foster a vibrant, welcoming environment that inspires pupils to seize every opportunity for learning, personal growth, and shaping their own futures. Starting in September 2024, we will enrol children from Year 1 to Year 6 (ages 5 to 10), and we plan to grow each year to eventually encompass a senior school.

Admission for 2024
Key Stage 1
In Key Stage 1, we teach literacy through a fun, phonics-based approach and emphasize problem-solving in Mathematics and scientific skills development. Pupils also learn Kazakh, Russian, Humanities, Computing, Art, Music, PE, and PSHE. We teach children the necessary skills to live and work in a community, focusing open-mindedness, kindness, and respect.
Learning (Y3 to Y6)
In Key Stage 2, alongside the core subjects of Maths, English, and Science, we teach Kazakh, Russian, Humanities, Computer Science, Art, Music, PE, and PSHE. We aim to prepare all pupils for senior school, encouraging children to embody and exhibit four core attributes: adventurous, curious, generous, and ingenious.
Learning (Y1 & Y2)
Key Stage 2
We are now accepting applications for Key Stage 1 (ages 5-6) and Key Stage 2 (ages 7-10)
When a child dares to explore, take risks, or embrace novelty, buoyed by our unwavering encouragement and support, they build not just resilience, but an invincible confidence. What once seemed unreachable becomes within grasp, nurturing a continuous adventuroUS spirit.
Be AdventuroUS
We believe curiosity is the spark that fuels learning, and we strive to kindle inquisitiveness in every child. Whether inside the classroom or beyond, when unravelling the past, exploring the present or envisioning the future, we aim to stimulate engagement while enriching understanding through thoughtful reflection and questioning.
Be CurioUS
We encourage our students to reflect on their interactions, fostering an understanding that kindness is indeed a powerful trait – a universal language that spreads happiness. As they recognise the impact of their actions, they comprehend that generosity goes beyond the material – it’s about giving more than what’s expected in kindness, understanding, and empathy.
Be GeneroUS
Originality and creativity are the marks of the ingenious, and we strive to nurture these qualities in every child. We ensure they feel secure and confident in their ideas and their potential to think beyond the ordinary.
Be IngenioUS
Shaping My World
Shaping My World' is the primary school vision designed to develop characteristics and skills where pupils embrace the senior school's 'World Ready' culture, which is intended to set them up for life.
This initiative is anchored in four key traits that we believe are vital in shaping our pupils’ journey at our primary school and beyond, as they stride confidently into independence and prepare for the challenges after Year 6 in the senior school. Our program is designed to encourage pupils to embody and exhibit the four core attributes: AdventuroUS, CurioUS, GeneroUS, and IngenioUS.
