INTRODUCTION

This section admits children from pre-school ages of 3 months to age 10years. It is placed under the leadership of an experienced Head of School, assisted by a number of dedicated teachers: with Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) background and a rich blend of Nigerian/British curriculum.
This section also places emphasis on safety and comfort. Priority is given to individual contact to ensure that each child is guided into activities and learning experience appropriate for him/her. No undue emphasis is placed on formal academic work.
Newfield School has high expectations for all its learners. In the Primary School, we pride ourselves on knowing each child as an individual in order to help them make progress. Teachers in the Primary School plan to scaffold success for all learners from their point of entry. This means that learning opportunities are planned so that all students are challenged appropriately, by providing work that is well suited to their individual needs.
Most of all, we are interested in the learning process-learning how to learn and how to apply skills and knowledge across an ever-increasing spectrum of experience. From the earliest age we ensure that children have an enjoyable experience of school and are motivated to learn and improve. This positive attitude is supported by a team of highly professional teachers who are themselves engaged in lifelong learning and model effective pedagogy.
