Academics

In order to provide an optimal learning environment, we base our curriculum on the English Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) 0-5 Statutory Framework designed for the learning, development, and care of learners from birth to five years. The Foundation Stage ends in the Reception Year and the EYFS document contains a curriculum framework that leads to the Early Learning Goals. The EYFS gives guidance in seven learning areas (three prime and four specific) for effective planning, assessment, and teaching and prepares learners for learning in Key Stage 1 (years 1 and 2). To further enrich our curriculum, we also incorporate elements from other internationally recognised educational programmes

The EYFS framework enables teachers to plan developmentally appropriate, play-based activities for learners that will assist them in the acquisition of the skills needed to prepare them for the next phase of their educational journey and for life.  Play-based teaching and learning is a key aspect of quality educational provision in the early years as learners are challenged and learn with enjoyment. We also acknowledge that parents are the most significant adults in a child’s life and in order to enhance educational calibre, they are partners in planning the development and growth of their child in a school setting.
