Early Years
An Exciting Learning Experience
Welcome
We believe that this first stage of children’s education is fundamental to their overall development. For this reason, our methodology is based on their emotional and social wellbeing and on creating enriching and play-based experiences.
At Caxton College, pupils enjoy a welcoming and safe environment where learning takes place through play, exploration and creativity, both inside and outside the classroom.
We offer an education where English and Spanish coexist naturally. We have a specialist teaching team who complement curricular lessons with musical, artistic, sport and other activities to promote the development of skills and abilities that will prepare children for the future. We are committed to providing an education where pupils feel happy, confident and acquire a solid base of knowledge and personal values.
By nurturing and supporting each pupil this way, each individual can thrive and reach their true potential.
Through our Early Years and Primary school ethos, we create a welcoming learning environment
Inquisitive minds
We awaken curiosity and the natural tendency to learn with the hope that it will remain throughout their lives.
Creative hands
We stimulate creativity and foster it through practical and artistic experiences.
Caring hearts
We teach values such as kindness, generosity, and affection as the foundation for social relationships.
A native English-speaking teacher and a Spanish-speaking teacher provide a bilingual educational environment
The children discover mathematics, develop an understanding of the world, explore their creativity, enjoy physical activities, enjoy stories and songs, and many other learning opportunities through play, creative learning areas, and sensory experiences. Each class has a native English and a native Spanish-speaking teacher and each week they receive support from specialist teachers in Physical Education and Music.
Our pupils gain knowledge through experiences with nature in daily outdoor lessons that promote a healthy relationship with the environment and stimulate their personal growth and development.
We implement creative and stimulating learning on a daily basis
Our main priority is for all children to feel safe and welcomed. Here, the children grow and develop in an environment designed to foster autonomous and personalised learning. The pupils enjoy the benefits of a healthy relationship with the environment thanks to our daily outdoor lessons. These experiences, along with fun educational activities, are of great importance to their cognitive and emotional development. Each class has a native English speaking teacher and a bilingual teaching assistant, as well as a team of teachers who are specialists in Physical Education and Music.
Children complete their final year of Early Years education at this stage and increase their independence
As each class has native English-speaking teachers and bilingual assistants, children strengthen their comprehension and expression skills in English. The teaching team is also composed of specialist teachers in Physical Education, Music, and Spanish Language.
Play remains the central focus of their learning as it is a highly effective method. We prioritise activities in outdoor spaces to encourage exploration, independence and cooperation.

School Life
Experiences That Mark Us
Right from the very first day, we want the child to start to develop their cognitive and social skills in a playful environment that offers the warmth and familiarity of home.
Culture, Sport & Values During the School Day
We are at a pivotal stage in the comprehensive development of our pupils as this is the recommended age for children to begin engaging in co-curricular activities. Music, sports, languages, and art are the four main areas that form the foundation of our Co-Curricular programme at the school. All of these activities contribute to the child's intellectual and psychomotor development and enhance aspects such as creativity or knowledge of the body and help nurture each student's innate qualities.
