Curriculum

Our curriculum is based on the National Curriculum of England and Wales. In accordance with the philosophy of Cambridge International Examinations we aim to stimulate students’ minds, as well as to encourage them to push beyond perceived traditional academic boundaries.

Well-rounded education

In order to achieve these goals, HeadStart uses balanced and challenging educational programmes developed by educational specialists from around the world. We deliver a well-rounded personalised educational experience. Priding ourselves in being a community school, emphasising individual learning, we are able to offer academic rigor within a compassionate and nurturing environment.

Small classes

In accordance with this strategy we offer small classes with low student-to-teacher ratios that offer students the opportunity to increase their personal knowledge, to build positive attitudes, develop character, practice acceptable social habits and foster positive teaching and learning. Teachers at HeadStart encourage research skills to promote self-reliance and initiative

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

Students not proficient in English will be assessed on their English-language skills. These students are assigned to spend five periods a week attending EAL lessons according to their ability. Both students and parents are encouraged to make every effort in developing these skills which are essential to students’ day-to-day school learning and activities.
