Early Years

Welcome to our Kindergarten

At ISO we follow the UK model for education in early years and for this we use the objectives from the Early Years Framework. The principles of early years education are:

Our school is a vibrant, warm and inspiring place for children to learn. Our highly skilled teachers create opportunities to develop children’s natural curiosity to explore the world around them from a very young age. We strive to engage children’s intrinsic desire to learn and we hope this is a value that will remain with them throughout their lives.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) provides a safe and secure environment in which our youngest children can grow and learn, both academically and socially-emotionally. Classrooms are set up to encourage young children’s natural play behaviour and allow free and structured access to a wide range of resources.

Early Years Foundation Stage

This important stage covers the Pre-Nursery, Nursery and Reception classes, which offers our youngest children a carefully integrated three year programme of learning. The progress of each child is closely monitored across the key areas which make up this stage:

Specific areas

Prime areas

During these formative years, we place particular emphasis on personal, social and emotional development. As the children move through Early Years they build on their understanding of the world around them

We believe that children achieve their best when there is a strong partnership between home and school and for this reason we work tirelessly to build close relationships with parents/carers.

Our core values to – Learn, Respect and Succeed are central to both pastoral and academic learning.

Character Education

We are actively working towards becoming accredited as a Character School, with a clear focus on instilling our six core values: Learn, Respect, Succeed, Empathy, Integrity, and Teamwork. Our aim is to embed these values into the fabric of our students’ daily lives, preparing them for both academic achievement and personal growth.

Benefits of Character Education

Problem-Solving

Academic Success

ISO's Commitment: Through carefully planned daily impact sessions, our teachers are committed to instilling these principles and values in a practical and engaging way. Our approach ensures that Character Education is not just a requirement, but a lived experience that prepares students for academic success and lifelong personal development.
