Early Years Programme

At Bournemouth, education starts with an early years curriculum founded on the Curiosity Approach. This methodology stimulates children’s interest in the environment surrounding them using organic materials, reused objects, and flexible play components. The curriculum encompasses seven educational domains: three fundamental ones—personal, social and emotional growth; communication and language; physical advancement—and four specialized domains such as mathematics, world exploration, reading and writing, and artistic expression. These domains integrate through guided play and tasks facilitated by both educators and pupils themselves.

Transition to Formal Education

Reception year at Bournemouth Collegiate School represents the transition toward structured education while preserving equilibrium between playful activities and organized instruction. Pupils become more actively involved with the educational community, participating in school gatherings and collaborating with subject-specific educators in disciplines like music, French, PE, and aquatics.
