Curriculum

Early Years

​

Our curriculum at Norwich is based on the National Curriculum for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, adapted to our international setting and our Values. We enhance the curriculum with a provision for mindfulness and with a deliberate focus on Mandarin. Students in Early Years at Norwich specifically follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which sets standards for development and care for children to 5 years old.

Playdate is a time, usually two or three mornings per week, where parents can bring their babies and toddlers to spend time together, play, sing and enjoy our facilities.

​

Our point of entry for formal learning is Nursery, which is for children turning 3 during the academic year (between 1st September and 31stAugust of the following year). Kindergarten is for children turning 4 during the academic year and Reception is for children turning 5 during the academic year.

​

The Homeroom teachers oversee the delivery of the Prime Areas and Specific Areas of the EYFS, with specialist teachers augmenting the provision as appropriate. 

​

 

 

 

 

The specialist lessons in Early Years are:
