Aplicación en Early Years
Our aim is that pupils to interact with the English culture and familiarise themselves with it and for them to develop the necessary skills to become self-sufficient, eager to learn and enjoy learning. Modern methodologies are used as well as resources such as IPads which involve pupils in their learning from the very beginning, encouraging creativity and curiosity.
The Early Years area has become a learning space – communal areas, the playground, the outdoor classroom, activity room, gymnasium… learning is not limited to the classroom. You can sense these areas are alive, small groups of children investigating, exploring; working on different skills all day. We provide individualised learning, which is fun and effective.
We have specialised teachers for our pupils to enjoy and learn through direct contact with music, art, dance and movement. We believe these to be the key elements for these ages, due to the importance of a holistic development, intellectual, aural, sensory; linguistic and motor skills.
Application in Primary
The curriculum objectives are the same and we encourage critical thinking, self-evaluation, collaboration, cooperation and Peer Learning.
Two elements are introduced in this stage: the concept of Literacy which offers the opportunity of experimenting, using and having fun with language and Topic closely linked to Literacy, where pupils work in an cross curricula manner which doesn’t separate but brings together learning and focuses on the objectives making it more effective. Reading is encouraged in the classroom through their class libraries and supported by the Big Cat Phonics programme and graded readers.
The use of multimedia highly motivates our pupils and classrooms have Apple TV, projector, screen and computer. The first cycle of Primary also has a Classroom Language Assistant (CLA), another English speaker to talk to, consult, listen to and interact with inside and out of the classroom. This provides for the acquisition of skills and learning objectives that are not limited to subject areas.
Application in Secondary
Ya con una capacidad lingüística afianzada, nuestros alumnos pasan a la etapa de Secundaria en la que pueden aplicar las competencias adquiridas en varias áreas aparte de la asignatura de inglés: Project Based Learning (PBL), Business Studies, Technology, ICT, Science y Physical Education. Facilita también el acceso a Certámenes y Congresos a nivel nacional e internacional.
At his point our pupils’ linguistic skills are consolidated and they move on to Secondary where they can apply acquired skills in various areas apart from the English: Project Based Learning (PBL), Business Studies, Technology, ICT, Science and Physical Education. This also enables access to National and International Competitions, Events and Conferences.
Pupils prepare for external examinations under the Modern Foreign Language Department as well as access to exchange programmes, both physical and virtual. In house and external activities are organised to enable pupils to improve skills such as: speaking in public, presentations or proposals before public and private institutions and effective communication skills at an International level.
