Preschool
for children from 2 to 6
We gather as a whole school for assembly on Mondays to discuss achievements and personal development SEAL topics. Some weeks, we have workshops planned and run by our secondary pupils.
Every day we start lessons at 08:00. Our mornings consist of English, Maths, and Czech Classes. For pupils that need English language support, we run the ESL programme.
Throughout the day, pupils have two snack breaks and a lunch break. We spend our break times outside or in the sports hall in bad weather so that we stay energised and active.
In the afternoon, as part of the popular IPC lessons, pupils learn new skills and gather new knowledge while working on the carefully planned research and record activities. Pupils also have their PE lessons one afternoon a week.
Throughout the week, we also celebrate good behavior with 15 minutes of “Golden Time” and we discuss important social, emotional, and behavioral topics during our “Circle Time”.
Lessons finish at 13:50. Pupils can then join our After School Club up until 16:30 or can sign up to Extracurricular Clubs that run between 14:00 and 15:00.
We will teach your child to read, write and count. While at iSchool, their English will become their second native language. (Brilliant, perfect..)
Teaching independent thinking, responsibility and learning support is just a cherry on top.
Jolly Phonics is an engaging way to teach children pre -reading and pre -writing skills using phonics. Phonics is the teaching of the sounds that letters make, rather than the names of letters that are taught in the alphabet, because it is the sounds that are useful for reading and writing, not the names. These sounds are taught in a systematic way, alongside all of the skills needed for being a fluent reader and writer in future. Jolly Phonics also teaches all of this in a fun and engaging way, through characters, stories, actions, songs and games! To read more about Jolly Phonics, clickhere.
ORT is a reading scheme which has been developed to help children learn to read from the age of 4. This scheme is used by a vast majority of preschools and schools in the UK and around the world.ORT includes popular characters and illustrations such as Biff, Chip and Kipper, Floppy, Wordless Stories and easy regular word books to capture children’s imagination and interest and help them develop their pre reading skills. It is an excellent way to practise the skills learned through the Jolly Phonics Programme..
Cambridge Primary ENGLISH promotes an enquiry-based approach, developing learners’ confidence, creativity and intellectual engagement. Learners develop English skills that they can apply to a range of different purposes and audiences in everyday situations and in study.
We teach English as a first language. Pupils that are only starting to learn English or need some additional support are allocated to our intensive English as a Second Language (ESL) programme.
More about Cambridge Primary EnglishCambridge Primary MATHEMATICS focuses on principles, patterns, systems, functions and relationships so that learners can apply their mathematical knowledge and develop a holistic understanding of the subject. Knowing your times tables facts without practical application and without developing alongside some good problem solving skills is not that helpful - in our school, we make sure our pupils know why they are learning it and how they can use the specific knowledge and skill.
