THE EYFS CURRICULUM

7 AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT

Our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) provides a play-based learning curriculum full of curiosity, wonder, and discovery—the perfect springboard into Primary education. The curriculum emphasises seven key areas of child learning and development:

Prime areas:


  1. Personal, social, and emotional development: Children learn how to understand their feelings and manage their own behaviour through storytelling, playing and forming bonds with their peers.
  2. Communication and language: Children thrive in our rich language environment, developing the confidence and skills to express themselves while speaking and listening in a range of situations.
  3. Physical development: Children develop their gross and fine motor skills by exploring our dedicated Early Years Campus and outdoor play area.

The three prime areas are applied and strengthened through the four specific areas:


  1. Literacy: Children discover the foundations of early reading and writing through repetitive stories, role play, sequencing and motor skill activities, which lead to phonics and writing when they reach Reception age.
  2. Maths: Our little ones develop their understanding of numbers through a range of real-life contexts.
  3. Understanding the world: Children investigate the natural environment, learn about the past and present, and compare communities around the world.
  4. Expressive arts and design: Our youngest students learn to express their feelings and ideas through a variety of immersive media, including song, dance, art, construction and drama.

WHAT OUR PARENTS SAY

PARENT FEEDBACK

frequently asked questions

  • How old is the school?
    We proudly celebrated our 30th anniversary in 2022. TBS Warsaw first opened our doors in 1992 for just 35 students. Since then, we have grown our community of students to 1,100 across two modern campuses. We’ve also been an accredited IB school for over 20 years!
  • What size are your classes?
    Our Pre-Nursery classes accommodate up to 16 students, Nursery classes are up to 18, while Reception and Year 1 are up to 20 students. Our Early Years teachers are also supported by one or two teaching assistants.
  • What qualifications do your teachers have?
    We only hire experienced teachers with a degree in teaching or a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) from the UK, or the equivalent from their home country. Most of our teachers are native English speakers.
  • My child doesn't speak much English. Will they be OK?
    Yes! Our English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme is designed to support newcomers with little or no English. At TBS Warsaw, children learn English very quickly thanks to our immersive English-speaking environment.
  • How is Polish integrated into the curriculum?
    From Year 2, native speakers of Polish study a curriculum based on the Polish Podstawa Programowa, enabling them to obtain their end-of-year Polish certificates (Świadectwo). Non-native speakers begin studying Polish as an additional foreign language from Year 1.
  • What other foreign languages do you teach?
    At TBS Warsaw, we believe that learning foreign languages is a key part of an international education. From Year 4, our primary students can choose between French, German and Spanish.
  • What afterschool activities do you offer?
    Through our Learning Enrichment Activity Programme (LEAP), we offer a variety of extracurricular activities every day of the week, including sports, music and creative workshops.
  • Do students wear uniforms?
    Yes, our students wear a smart and comfortable uniform. We believe that wearing a uniform instils a sense of belonging and respect. Uniforms also help students to save time getting dressed, making it easier to focus on their studies. Second-hand uniforms are available for purchase on our main campus.
  • When do you accept applications?
    Admissions are open throughout the year, and new students may enrol after the academic year begins.
