Language Immersion in the Early Years

As a British school, our entire curriculum is taught in English from Pre-Nursery upwards. Our children are immersed in English from the minute they walk through the door in Pre-Nursery, and English is the primary language for all lessons, activities, events, and extracurriculars.

However, to ensure that the adults always understand and support the needs of our youngest children, one team member in each classroom, often the learning support assistant, will speak Spanish. From Year 1, students begin to study the compulsory subjects of Spanish Language and Social Sciences in Spanish with native teachers, or take Spanish Second Language lessons. As a result, all children become bilingual speakers of English and Spanish.

Early Years Facilities

Our Infant campus in La Moraleja has recently opened, having been purpose-designed to completely fulfil all the needs of our youngest pupils. With dedicated classrooms and common areas adapted for learning in the first school years, all facilities, equipment and resources are created to enhance academic performance and life skills development as well as promote health and wellbeing. All furniture is customised to suit the children’s age group and their level of autonomy.

The well-equipped Foundation Stage classrooms (Nursery and Reception) come complete with independent bathrooms and direct access to play areas. The Infant playground features high-quality play equipment to develop motor skills, creativity, and problem-solving. Additionally, we offer a covered patio which is used year-round, particularly in inclement weather, ensuring children learn and play outdoors every day.
