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.
