At 4 years of age the child is initiated into schooling in FS2 through innovative methods of teaching and learning and fun filled activities, within the framework of The National Curriculum for England. A positive attitude to school is fostered through individual attention, encouragement and support. Our endeavor is to make learning exciting and pressure free in a safe, secure and happy environment making the transition from home to school easy and enjoyable.
The Foundation Stage children are suitably prepared for literacy and numeracy methods following phonic methods and well-graded writing patterns. Emphasis is laid on a comprehensive foundation-building programme focusing on enhancing skills in reading, speaking writing and listening.
The below listed provision supports learning in all the seven areas of learning in the Foundation Stage at TWS.
The Primary Curriculum of Key Stage 1 for Year 1 and 2 is designed to engage students in their learning and to ensure there is continuation and progress from the Foundation Stage.
In Key Stage 1, students evolve and grow, intellectually and emotionally. They are given opportunities to more formal activities to build their confidence and learning skills. Socially preferred behaviour patterns are inculcated through a focus on etiquette and values which will lay the foundation for students’ social interaction and development.
Our school’s Primary curriculum in Year 3 to 6 of Key Stage 2 aims to produce confident and competent learners and good communicators. Students develop independence as well as respect, humility and compassion for others.
Creative expression, problem solving and critical thinking is emphasized throughout as students move through Primary School. They participate in diverse extra-curricular activities, and develop their personal interests and individual personalities. They work in collaboration, develop their self-esteem and confidence, raise the bar of their goals, and extend and build their character.
In Years 7 and 8, a strong foundation is laid for students in a wide range of subjects. The integrated academic course lays the foundation for the IGCSE program in Years 9 to 11.
We offer General Certificate of Education (GCE) at Advanced level (A Level) as a two year program. The first year (year 12) is the Advanced Subsidiary Level (AS) and the second year (Grade 13) is a continuation to complete the A-Level program.
AS Level is typically taken at the mid-point of an A-Level program. We offer AS Level as a qualification in its own right to increase breadth in the curriculum and to allow students to complement other subjects that they are studying.
