EYFS Curriculum Overview

In FS-1 and FS-2, we follow the EYFS for England, which is tailored to meet the needs of our unique international community. We believe play and inquiry are powerful vehicles for children’s learning and that they promote the highest standards of learning and development for children between the ages of three and five.

Our EYFS curriculum is complemented by our specialist teaching in Music, Mandarin, Physical Education (PE) and Learning Technologies (LT). In addition, our children visit the library on a weekly basis. Our Forest and Beach School programmes, and our woodwork opportunities, help to provide authentic learning experiences for our children, enabling them to rehearse and practise skills and enrich their learning. Our experiential learning opportunities support the development of the whole child and help cultivate attributes for lifelong learning.

Our approach to teaching and learning in EYFS is informed by the best available research and evidence on child development between the ages of three and five. The learning experience reflects the broad range of skills, knowledge and understanding children need as foundations for a successful future. We guide the development of the children’s capabilities with a view to ensuring they complete EYFS ready to embrace the opportunities that lie ahead of them in Key Stage 1 and beyond.
