Teaching methods used are child-centered where young learners learn by doing through well-planned and purposeful hands-on activities and collaborative work. Teaching and learning are planned according to the UK National Curriculum standards and goals. These statutory objectives are aligned with cross-curricular schemes of work that promote our children\u2019s cognitive, personal and social development in an integrated way. Literacy objectives are achieved through the \u2018Jolly Phonics\u2019 programme where pupils learn sound recognition, blending and eventually reading. The Oxford Reading Tree programme is also implemented in the Foundation Stage where most students are expected to reach stage 4 reading.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a8a5a83 elementor-section-height-full elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle\" data-id=\"a8a5a83\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-35fab52\" data-id=\"35fab52\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2398517 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2398517\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Montserrat thin', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 29px;\">Teachers also work on extending the children\u2019s vocabulary and speaking skills through interactive group work, story-telling and role-play.

These lessons are implemented throughout the whole day and are based on ethical and moral standards that aim at nurturing self-esteem, confidence, tolerance, positive social interaction and caring for the environment. Community service is also practiced every term through big projects inside and outside school. We have an annual project called \u201cPlant for a Cause\u201d where students plant vegetables and fruits, and when reaped, they sell the crops and money collected is given out to charity.

Differentiation is a key part of teaching and learning. This means that teachers plan to meet the needs of various learners, of differing abilities and levels of motivation. At times, that will mean different groups of students will be doing different work, according to their abilities. Often it takes the form of additional, more challenging work, given to pupils after they have finished their main task in class. Teachers reserve the right to decide the optimal seating arrangement in different lessons. Learning and teaching is holistic and aimed at the \u201cwhole child\u201d. Some lessons and activities may be centred around speaking and thinking\/reasoning tasks (such as a class debate session, for example), or have a different creative outcome, such as a role play, organised and planned in groups, or posters designed and produced in pairs, to illustrate a particular learning objective or topic. Traditional exercises and worksheets are also used, but not at the exclusion of other, creative teaching methods.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-96b5529 elementor-section-height-full elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle\" data-id=\"96b5529\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e14cbef\" data-id=\"e14cbef\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61e7462 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"61e7462\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><b>Pastoral Programme and Community Service<\/b><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ad76db elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5ad76db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">In line with our well-structured and strictly applied behaviour policy, pastoral lessons and assemblies are part of our weekly and monthly plans.
