Nursery, Infant and Junior Schools are awarded IBO World School Status
Following a very successful IBO (International Baccalaureate Organisation) inspection, Rossall Junior, Infant and Nursery School is proud to announce that it is now an IBO World School and fully authorised to teach the Primary Years Programme, the first independent school in the North of England.
.
What is the Primary Years Programme?
The PYP provides an international curriculum that meets the needs of young learners between the ages of 3 and 11. We believe everyone at Rossall to be life long learners and we are preparing our children to face the fast changing world and enabling them to connect their learning to real life situations.
.
Our children are encouraged to be inquisitive, ask questions, explore and interact with their environment.
.
The programme is built around the children engaging in half termly Units of Inquiry where they are able to make connection in their learning across the curriculum and between subject disciplines.
.
At the heart of the programme lies the Pupil Learner Profile; which encourages the children to be inquirers, communicators, open-minded and reflective. It provides them with confidence, empathy and independence as well as giving them the life-long skills of self-management, research and communication.
.
The IBO were delighted with Rossall’s teaching and the progress the children are making under the programme. It is truly a curriculum for tomorrow’s child and Rossall Junior, Infants and Nursery are clearly providing this as the outstanding inspection report bore testament to. The report praised the outstanding pastoral care the children receive in their formative years. We are first and foremost a place of learning where the curriculum challenges the children to strive for personal standards of excellence and to reach their full potential.
