The Alice Smith Early Years Curriculum follows the English National Curriculum.
In the Foundation Stage - Pre-school and Reception (3 - 5 years old), your child will be learning skills, acquiring new knowledge and demonstrating their understanding through 7 areas of learning and development.
Outdoor Learning
The importance of outdoor exploratory play is something we are deeply aware of at Alice Smith. Across our Early Years classes, our spacious and stimulating outdoor areas provide children the opportunity to connect with the natural world and have firsthand experiences of life and growth. Our outdoor space is viewed as an extension of our classrooms where children explore, risk take, develop physically and absorb vast amounts of physical knowledge.
Student support services and ESL/ESOL programmes are available.
In Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2), your child will experience free flow classrooms and play areas enabling them to select the activities planned by our teachers that interest and stimulate them the most. Your child will develop skills more quickly by engaging them in this way than in a formal class setting.
In Key Stage 2 (Years 3 to 6), our flexible, well planned cross-curricular units encourage students to make sense of their learning by creating links between subjects and the real world. Learning initiated by student questions is encouraged, celebrated, tracked and recorded as part of the connected and authentic learning process.
At the Secondary Campus, our curriculum is structured into three distinct phases: Key Stage 3 (Years 7 to 9), Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11) and Key Stage 5 (Sixth Form) and follows the National Curriculum for England through to (I)GCSE and A Level.
