Nursery
In the Nursery department,
we focus strongly on the three Prime Areas which are the basis for successful
learning in following specific areas:
Personal, social and
emotional development;
Physical development
Communication and language
Personal,
social, and emotional development involves helping
children to develop a positive sense of themselves, and others; to form
positive relationships and develop respect for others; to develop social skills
and learn how to manage their feelings; to understand appropriate behaviour in
groups; and to have confidence in their own abilities.
As children grow in
confidence and ability within the three prime areas, the balance will slowly
shift towards a more equal focus on all areas of learning, including:
ü Literacy
ü Numeracy
ü Understanding the world
ü Expressive arts and design
Literacy development involves encouraging children to
read and write, both through listening to others reading, and being encouraged
to begin to read and write themselves. Children must be given access to a
wide range of reading materials – books, poems, and other written materials, to
ignite their interest.
Numeracy involves
providing children with opportunities to practice and improve their skills in
counting numbers, calculating simple addition and subtraction problems, and to
describe shapes, spaces, and measures.
Understanding
the world involves guiding children
to make sense of their physical world and their community through opportunities
to explore, observe and find out about people, places, technology and the
environment.
Expressive
arts and design involves supporting
children to explore and play with a wide range of media and materials, as well
as providing opportunities and encouragement for sharing their thoughts, ideas and
feelings through a variety of activities in art, poem, drama, music and rhymes,
movement, dance, role-play, and design and technology.
Children’s progress in
each area is continually assessed so that their development needs are met
early.
Primary
In our Primary school (ages 5 to 11), the focus is
on learning good fundamental Mathematics (Algebra, geometry and statistics) and
English language skills (creative writing, comprehension, spelling and grammar).
Science, Technology (exploring IT systems), Humanities and Art are covered as
multi-disciplinary topics and through projects.
Children’s progress in
each area is continually assessed so as to gain mastery.
