IPIE aims to provide a warm, supportive and challenging environment where the child's individuality is nourished and where childhood is cherished. The curriculum will be based on the principles, objectives and outcomes of the EYFS from the English National Curriculum, with the addition of a wider pedagogy in order to cater for the educational needs of its international community. The approach is based on important educational principles and founded on good practice. It is concerned with the child, the context and setting as well as the content of the learning.
The learning characteristics of the EYFS are: playing and exploring, active learning, creating and thinking critically. This approach will be supported by experienced, qualified staff and quality resources.
