Early Years and Primary
Time for discovery
Creativity, curiosity and independence
At our school, we believe that the early years of a child’s education are a time of discovery, growth and wonder. Everything we do in Early Years and Primary is designed to foster a love of learning, creativity and curiosity, and to encourage pupils’ independence within a safe, supportive and stimulating environment. We strive to provide every child with a solid foundation that will serve them throughout their academic journey and beyond. We recognise that every child is unique and are committed to offering a learning experience tailored to their individual needs and aspirations. Early Years and Primary encompasses The English Nursery (Pre-Nursery and Nursery) and Pre-Primary up to Year 4, catering for children aged 2 to 11. From the very start of their school journey, we offer a bilingual educational model that empowers our students to achieve B1 or B2 level proficiency in English by the end of primary school. Furthermore, we introduce French as a third language from Year 3 onwards, broadening their linguistic and cultural horizons.
Our aim is not just to teach children, but to empower them: by encouraging them to think critically, explore their interests and build meaningful connections with their classmates and teachers.
