for both “the quality of pupils’ learning and achievements” and the “quality of pupils’ personal development” by the UK Independent Schools Inspectorate in 2018.

Starting in the EYFS,

the school

tailors the educational programme to the needs of each individual student

, providing a positive, stimulating, secure and caring environment that cultivates self-esteem and self-confidence in all areas: academic, social and personal, allowing children to meet their full potential.

BSB’s approach to Early Years education is based on the fundamental principle that each child is unique and can flourish in an environment which fosters positive relationships. Our students primarily learn in the most natural way possible – through play, and the curriculum is delivered through activities that have been

adapted to children’s interests, as well as their educational needs. Children are encouraged to explore and investigate in safe, enabling environments so that they not only develop an understanding of the world in which they live, but also learn how to approach tasks with increasing independence and resilience.

Child-initiated activities

are well balanced with

teacher-led activities

, giving children the opportunity to be more autonomous in their learning. Teachers then aim to set appropriate targets for future development, based on their assessments.

In the EYFS, learning is supported through

continuous provision

or in other words, the careful preparation of the learning environment in such a way that children are encouraged to engage in learning activities of their choice with increasing independence. This environment, which not only includes the

classroom

and

outdoor learning

areas, but also a range of specialist areas around the school, is then further enhanced to suit the specific needs and interests of the children to secure motivation and engagement.

The classrooms and the outdoor playgrounds include specific learning areas with educational materials in place to stimulate all the senses: sand, water, play dough, construction material, books, technology and musical instruments. Every activity, whether initiated by children or by teachers, leads to the

students’ academic, social and personal development

.

In addition, Reception students have the option of choosing one or more after-school

co-curricular activities

. Some examples include: ballet, clay modelling, climbing, crafts activities, gymnastics, karate, yoga and relaxation, mural workshops, music club. The co-curricular programme forms an essential part of both your child’s education and their personal development.

Our teachers and staff are

highly experienced

in helping children to settle into school life. They give children the individual attention they require and make sure each child can relate to something familiar within school, to increase feelings of comfort and create a positive transitional experience for them.

Parents are welcome to discuss the early collection of their child in the first week of school to ease the transition, if necessary, and we are happy to arrange for a child’s Class Teacher to make a

home visit

before term starts.

You are invited to join us at the British School of Bucharest on 13

th

November to see how children in the Early Years

develop confidence, self-esteem and creativity through our programmes,

as well as to meet the unique team of teachers and staff, who support their academic, emotional and personal development each day.

The Early Years Open Morning will take place on November 13

th

in two groups from 09:00 - 10:30 or from 10:30 – 12:00, at BSB’s campus on
