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.
Each day we create a welcoming learning environment so that children feel happy, safe, and cared for
“Children in the early years make rapid progress in the acquisition of English through immersive language learning, which is fun, thereby ensuring that they enjoy the lesson.”
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. Additionally, each week they receive support from specialist teachers in Physical Education and Music.
Our pupils gain knowledge through experiences with nature, which is why we have 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 where bilingualism is the central focus
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. This is of great importance to their cognitive and emotional development, along with educational games.
Each class has both a native English and Spanish speaking teacher, 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.
