Our Curriculum

Our school focuses on providing an enjoyable first experience of school. Where children find education stimulating and pleasurable which will help them to develop a positive attitude towards learning for the rest of their lives. Our teaching is focused on the core subjects, with an emphasis on securing a sound base in English and Spanish. Our school follows The British National curriculum.
.

Our School aims are:

In the early years our nursery follows the Montessori approach, which fosters a love of learning.

The Montessori curriculum helps co-ordination and motor skills through Montessori exercises for practical life. Children also refine their five senses using sensorial apparatus.

"Learning the correct answers will get a child through school, but learning how to learn is a preparation for life." - Maria Montessori'

Maria Montessori recognised that children have a natural willingness to explore and that the best motivation for learning is self-motivation. In many schools, direction in everyday skills, social graces and discipline are sometimes lacking which is why our school devotes time on these points.
