Learning
Girls start learning from day one in Bluebelle House. We have high behavioural and academic expectations and make sure that individuals feel valued and rewarded for hard work and effort.
We offer a bespoke curriculum, designed to create eager and independent learners. Each day is structured to allow time for independent and teacher-led tasks. We encourage the children to talk about their learning, to note what they can do and to think about their next steps. These first few years are vitally important as they lay academic foundations and support the development of good study skills.
Learning focuses on the Prime Areas of Learning: Communication and Language; Personal, Social and Emotional Development; Physical Development. It also includes the Specific Areas of Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, Expressive Arts and Design.
Whilst the curriculum is structured with a full and comprehensive timetable, there is an emphasis on reading, writing and mathematics. The children learn by playing with resources, knowledge, letters and numbers. The girls are fully prepared for the academic journey ahead of them, communicating with clarity, developing their social and emotional skills and thinking for themselves.
We have high expectations of our girls and are proud of each and every one of them. We allow time and space for the children to settle, to speak out, to be heard and to develop their vocabulary and confidence when speaking and performing.
Our girls leave Reception as enthusiastic readers who enjoy books, and read with fluency and understanding. They can write independently and are confident mathematicians, able to select their own resources and methods to solve number problems.
The girls enjoy weekly Music, Ballet, PE and Swimming lessons and are provided with a wealth of opportunities and practical experiences to further develop their understanding of the world around them. Throughout the year enrichment activities support learning, including visiting speakers, visiting farm animals, Science workshops and a day trip in Reception.
Our aim is for each child to:
- – develop a sense of social responsibility and concern for others
- encourage pupils to think for themselves and reach considered decisions
- promote self-discipline and independence, bearing in mind the needs of others
- provide opportunities for developing interpersonal skills
- enable pupils to always reach their full potential
- prepare pupils for future decisions and choices
