EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE Early Years Foundation Stage provides a safe and secure environment in which very young children can grow and learn. In the Early Years, children learn through a combination of teacher-pupil initiated activities and, of course, play. Children’s learning areas are large, well planned and appropriate to the age and needs of the children. Classrooms are set up to encourage young children’s natural play behaviour and allow free access to a wide range of resources. Developing learning needs are taken into consideration with regards to environment, resources, challenges set and daily routines. Close relationships are built with parents, teachers and assistants to ensure each child has the best preparation for the next stage of their education.

PRIMARY SCHOOL At primary school level learning often takes place through cross-curricular topic-based study. Reading, Writing, and Maths are tied together with elements of Science, Geography, History, ICT, and Art. For example, pupils gain appreciation of a History topic, such as Ancient Egypt, by writing an instructional text on the process of making a mummy in Literacy, and crafting their Egyptian plaster masks in an Art lesson. By placing children at the center of the learning experience we encourage them to investigate, discover and to learn how to harness their abundant natural curiosity. There is a strong emphasis on learning to work independently and in groups, whilst making use of the latest ICT tools available.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES (CLUBS, TRIPS) ECAs are an essential, vital and extensive part of education, the development of the skill of working in groups, the cultivation of hobbies and interests, the musical productions and plays, and participation in inter-school competitions, present many opportunities for students to discover and develop their talents. Our intention is to provide each student with a chance to develop an area of interest, and to enhance their experience of school life overall. The main objective of Extra Curricular Activities is to develop leadership abilities, interpersonal relationships, a sense of responsibility, a generosity of spirit, personal discipline and selfless cooperation.

STUDENT CARE The aim of the International School of Oradea is to further the academic and personal development of every student during their time with us at the school. Our Student Care system seeks to provide the advice and guidance which will enable students to foster the skills required to become successful, respectful and independent adults. In Primary, this is achieved through the Class Teacher and weekly Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) lessons. Within the Primary School, PSHE is delivered via the curriculum especially Humanities and Science lessons, using Circle Time activities and assemblies. The Class Teachers are supported by Heads of Year as well as the support staff and medical team.
