Foundation Stage

In the Nursery and Reception we follow the British Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum.

In the Foundation Stage, since we are an international school, we see it as particularly important to welcome children from all backgrounds and try to create an atmosphere where every individual child feels welcome and secure and in which all feel they have something to contribute.  By valuing the children’s backgrounds and building on their previous experiences, we hope to build their self esteem and encourage all round progress in terms of their moral, social and cultural development.  We recognise the importance of this development to the growth of the well-balanced child. We aim to present the English language to the child as a normal part of the school environment. We give opportunities for the child to listen, repeat, experiment and express through real and play situations. We aim to develop the child’s confidence, vocabulary and understanding enough to enable them to begin to express themselves in English naturally and with enjoyment.
