JUNIOR SCHOOL OVERVIEW

Days in the Junior School are exciting, full and varied.

Nursery and The Fours (Foundation Stage 1 and 2) The Early Years curriculum at Uppingham Cairo is designed to reveal a world of wonder for your son or daughter as they begin their school journey. Our fully qualified and experienced Form Teachers and Teaching Assistants will capture your child’s curiosity and carefully support their development through the seven interconnected areas of learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Learning is motivating, engaging, fun and deeply personalised to ensure that your son or daughter reaches the highest possible standards across the curriculum.

Exceptional specialist teaching, first class facilities and high quality pastoral care combine to ensure that your son or daughter is exceptionally well prepared for the challenges and opportunities of Senior School.





Core Curriculum

With the National Curriculum of England and Wales (NC) at its core, the Junior School curriculum is very broad, designed to promote excellence and to give your child as many opportunities as possible to identify their strengths and expand their horizons; Sports, Music and The Arts continue to flourish alongside other academic disciplines. As the engines of the curriculum, our teaching in English, Mathematics and Science goes much further and deeper than the expectations of the National Curriculum, enabling your son or daughter to achieve very high standards in these essential subjects. We understand, however, that a rich and rewarding education goes well beyond a narrow academic focus and the physical, spiritual, moral and social development of our pupils is carefully nurtured in the Junior School. Our extensive co-curricular and world leading Day Boarding enrichment programme ensures that every pupil has ample opportunity and encouragement to find and explore their individual interests and develop their confidence and creativity.
