Learning

At Kensington Wade our nursery pupils learn within a stimulating environment which encourages them to work and play in a variety of ways. Our teachers give children the opportunity to investigate and build on their interests and extend their knowledge and skills.

Nursery classes at Kensington Wade follow the Early Years Foundation Framework covering the seven areas of learning:

  • Communication and language
  • Physical development
  • Personal, social and emotional development
  • Literacy
  • Mathematics
  • Understanding the world
  • Expressive arts and design

The curriculum at Kensington Wade is delivered through our immersive bilingual model which allows children to be exposed to both languages for equal amounts of time. This environment imitates how children learned their first language: new vocabulary is introduced in an everyday context and within a secure, engaging and supportive community. Children in nursery also receive sport and music lessons from specialist teachers.
