Foundation

At HeadStart, we take immense pride in our exceptional and diverse team of highly qualified educators. Our staff brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and passion to the classroom, ensuring that our students receive a well-rounded and enriching education. With a diverse range of backgrounds, talents, and expertise, our teachers inspire and challenge our students to reach their fullest potential.

Our dedicated Foundation team understands the unique needs of our Preschool, Early Years and Reception students and works tirelessly to create a safe, engaging, and play-based learning environment. By focusing on the prime areas of learning, communication and language, physical development, and personal, social, and emotional development, we lay a solid foundation for future academic success. We believe that every child’s individuality is celebrated and supported within the EYFS framework, and our staff is committed to fostering a love for learning from the very beginning.

‘Throughout the school, teachers’ subject knowledge and understanding of how students learn are strong. Relationships between students and teachers are positive. The ratio of qualified teachers to students, especially in the early years and lower primary classes, is high. ‘Deputy’ teachers, who are fully qualified teachers in their home countries, support class teachers. Due to their expertise, they make a significant difference to the rates of progress that students make. Teachers know students well and assess them accurately. This enables teachers to plan work that matches the ability of individual students and caters well for their varying needs.’ Education Development Trust (EDT) Accreditation Report, June 2017
