In a calm, nurturing space, our youngest are held, sung to, and softly encouraged to explore — building the trust and security from which every future step will grow. ### Early Years — EYFS · Nursery & Reception - **Ages:** 2 – 5 years - **Focus:** Phonics & Story, Number Sense, Confidence, Imaginative Play Following the Early Years Foundation Stage, our Nursery and Reception classes turn play into discovery. Through stories, song, sand and water, little ones build early literacy and numeracy — and the confidence to ask “why?” again and again. ### Lower Primary — Key Stage 1 · Years 1 – 2 - **Ages:** 5 – 7 years - **Focus:** Reading & Writing, Early Maths, Curiosity, Teamwork In Key Stage 1, structured learning meets boundless enthusiasm. Children become readers and writers, problem-solvers and questioners — all within a curriculum that still makes room for wonder, friendship, and the joy of getting things gloriously right. ### Upper Primary — Key Stage 2 · Years 3 – 6 - **Ages:** 7 – 11 years - **Focus:** Critical Thinking, Science & ICT, Creativity, Responsibility Key Stage 2 stretches young minds across the full breadth of the curriculum — from science investigations to creative writing, coding to composition. We nurture independence and integrity, preparing confident learners for the leap into secondary school. ### Junior Secondary — JSS 1 – 3 · Opening September 2026 - **Ages:** 11 – 14 years - **Focus:** Specialist Subjects, Research Skills, Leadership, Character Imperial Heights Secondary School opens its doors in September 2026, welcoming our first JSS 1 – 3 pupils. Students will explore a rich array of specialist subjects taught by passionate teachers — a season of stretching and self-discovery, where academic ambition is matched by leadership, character, and a growing sense of who they are becoming.
