Our children are encouraged to be independent thinkers, to be creative and inquisitive and to develop their interests and talents across a broad and holistic curriculum. A wide range of extra-curricular activities allows them to have an in depth experience of music, the creative arts and sport at Alexanders. 

​

Our children are helped to understand their place in the world and the responsibilities they might have as kind and responsible members of its community. Regular opportunities are provided to experience and support the wider community and to take their learning outside of the classroom.

 

The journey begins in Year 00 (Nursery) or Year 0 (Reception) with the British National Early-Years Foundational Curriculum. Synthetic phonics and reading are introduced in this important key stage. 

The journey continues into Year 1 and Year 2 which together form Key Stage 1. The skills of independent reading and writing are developed, and cursive writing is introduced towards the end of this key stage. German and Portuguese foreign languages are also introduced. 

 

Children move on to Years 3 to 6 which form Key Stage 2. This key stage in development builds on Key Stage 1, deepening subject knowledge, further developing independence, strengthening the core skills of reading, writing and maths, and preparing our children for secondary school.
