The Bilingual Primary School - Similar companies

The Bilingual Primary School is a growing school with over 490 children on roll from Reception to Y6. We are housed in a bran ... d new, purpose build school right on the edge of Hove Park with easy access to everything Brighton & Hove has to offer. We believe children learn best when they feel safe, cared for and listened to. Our aim is for children to be motivated and excited about learning. We want to inspire them to have high aspirations for their future, to be successful learners and confident individuals. We want them to take responsibility for their own behaviour and to work with us to challenge themselves to achieve the highest standards. Hearing, speaking and learning Spanish and equipping our children to become global citizens are central to our school. The governors and staff are totally committed to the ongoing development of our bilingual vision and Spanish and English are used interchangeably throughout the school. All our teaching assistants are native or fluent Spanish speakers, as are about a quarter of our teaching staff, and organisational and social language happens in Spanish. Children from Y1 upwards have Spanish lessons twice a week. The school follows the national curriculum and, as a newer school, we are in the enviable position of being able to build a curriculum that meets our needs and our context rather than being constrained by what we have always done. As you walk around the school there is a real ‘buzz’ about learning and lots of talk and activity. read more
