Introduction
The Nursery class admits children from the age of 2 years old and bases its day on developing children through the Birth to Three Matters programme, a programme which is followed by English nurseries. See Nursery curriculum for details.
Children from three to five follow the Early Years Foundation Stage of the English National Curriculum, working towards the Early Learning Goals in the six areas of learning. See Kindergarten and Reception curricula for details.
From the age of five, pupils follow the English National Curriculum, with an assessment at the end of Key Stage 1 (age 7). In order to ensure parity with English schools, the KS1 assessments are moderated by the Essex Curriculum and Assessment Authority, with the children’s papers being sent to England for assessment. See appropriate Year group curricula for details.
Pupils from the age of five also have a daily Italian lesson and are prepared for the annual Italian schools assessments from the age of six/seven. In this way children should transfer easily into an English or Italian school at the age of eleven. See Italian curriculum for details.
