Curriculum
The school aims to provide an international curriculum.
With the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum of England underpinning our Nursery, Key Stage 1 & 2 and Primary; together with the demands and innovations of modern society; there is much to excite and extend the child’s learning and development.
​
The inherent inquisitiveness of the young is nurtured so that it may develop into the will to learn. This will be achieved through a well-planned curriculum, the encouragement of learning outside the classroom and a system which gives each child all the individual support and attention that he/she needs.
​
The school aims to provide an enabling environment where each child is valued and respected and can develop into a resilient and secure individual.
​
From its start as an Early Years setting, Banana Island School now offers exceptional Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 education.
​
Children transition from the Reception class with a secure Early Years foundation into Year 1 and move up through the School until the end of Key Stage 2 (Age 11).
Key Stage 1
Ages 5 - 7
In Year 1, the children are introduced to a more disciplined working environment, but with an emphasis is keeping the learning interesting and fun.
Using the National Curriculum Key Stage 1, each core subject is covered with a carefully structured scheme of work, often linked through cross-curricular topic work.
