Our three stages
From seven months to eleven years,, without changing schools
Three stages on one site, with the same team and the same methods. Children move from one to the next without losing their bearings.
The essentials of all three stages, line by line.
A world of its own, calm and sized for the very youngest. Children don’t just come here to sleep and play: they settle into a real rhythm of learning the important basics.
Touch trays, exploration mats, low obstacle courses: children learn with their hands before words.
Nursery rhymes and everyday words in French and English, from the very first months.
Gradual and planned together with the family: first one hour, then a morning, then the whole day.
Snacks and lunches, nappies, wipes and spare clothes. School supplies and early learning materials are provided by the school.
Four year groups on the same site, from the youngest class to the final pre-school year. Groups are rearranged according to the activity, never according to a ranking.
Naming, telling stories, recognising sounds and letters. Vocabulary grows every day.
Sorting, arranging, comparing, counting: hands-on first, abstract thinking later.
Routines, songs and instructions in English, every day, in the classroom.
Kept by the teacher, it records what has been mastered and what still needs more time.
The fundamentals, with the same small class sizes and the same individual attention as in pre-school. New year groups open as each cohort moves up.
Reading, writing, maths, science and discovering the world, English every day.
Regular homework, short and followed up, to anchor what has been covered in class.
Museum, zoo, park: every outing builds on what is being covered in class.
A speech therapist, psychomotor therapist or psychologist when a need is identified.
