Our Preschool Programme
Play-based, child-centred, holistic learning is at the heart of our Early Years Programme at TradeWinds Academy. In accordance with the Early Years Foundation Stage (UK) and our philosophy as a school of ‘Belong, Explore, Shine’, our young learners are supported to access their curriculum in an inviting, imaginative and engaging way.
It is well documented that young learners progress well with their Early Years Learning Goals through exploration of play-based themes, social interaction, teacher-led adventures, and freedom within a structured environment. They are invited to participate in a hands-on, activity-based approach to develop well-rounded capabilities and thinking patterns, which prepare children well, setting them on a quality path and laying foundations for future learning as they progress through the school.
