Policy Statement
Wingate International School follows the English National Curriculum with the addition of the Nigerian Civic Education and Religion. Subjects covered are English, Maths, Science, Geography, History, Computing, Physical Education, Art, Music, French and Chess.
The school places a great emphasis on encouraging the all-round growth and development of each individual scholar ensuring that they reach their full potential, prepare them for opportunities and responsibilities of adult life. The curriculum is the means by which the school achieves its educational aims as outlined in our School Development Plan.
We use a thematic approach making meaningful links between subjects during units of work. This allows children to see the connections between the knowledge, ideas and skills they are learning in their studies. It allows pupils to see how subjects are inter-related and not separate and isolated. This leads to greater progress, deeper understanding and to the reinforcement of key skills as they are transferred between curriculum areas.
