Through purposeful play, warm relationships and virtues lived every day, we nurture joyful learners who are curious, confident, kind and ready for the world.
Tap any part of the curriculum structure to discover what it means for your child.
Through purposeful play experiences, children develop language, early mathematical understanding, problem-solving skills, creativity and the ability to interact positively with others.
Our teachers observe how children play and know when to introduce a question, material or new idea to extend their thinking, and when to step back and allow the children to lead.
Children develop confidence in English and their Mother Tongue through stories, conversations, songs and playful language experiences. They learn to listen, express their ideas and communicate meaningfully with others.
Children explore numbers, patterns, sorting, measurement, shapes and spatial relationships through games, construction and everyday problem-solving. Hands-on experiences help mathematical ideas become meaningful and easier to understand.
Children communicate their ideas, feelings and imagination through art, music, movement and dramatic play. The focus is on creative exploration, enjoyment and self-expression rather than producing identical finished products.
Children observe, investigate and ask questions about nature and the world around them. Through experiences involving gardens, weather, animals and life cycles, they develop curiosity and learn to care for creation.
Children develop balance, coordination, body awareness and fine motor control through active play, movement and sensory experiences. Daily challenges help them become more confident, capable and independent.
Children learn to recognise and manage their emotions, understand the feelings of others and build positive friendships. Through routines, play and relationships, they develop confidence, empathy and the ability to work well with others.
We nurture children as whole persons, helping them grow physically, cognitively, socially, emotionally and spiritually.
Every child develops at their own pace. Our teachers provide consistent encouragement and guidance while recognising each child’s individual strengths, needs and stage of development.
Learning begins with what children know best and gradually widens to their community and the world around them.
Children explore a theme through stories, conversations, play, investigations and hands-on experiences. They ask questions, share their ideas, make connections and build their understanding.
Children take their learning further through project-based inquiry. They work together to investigate their questions, explore possibilities, solve problems, create something meaningful and share what they have discovered.
Our commitment to nurturing caring hearts and strong character comes to life through our Beacons of Light Programme.
Beacons of Light is woven into the wider LSS curriculum, nurturing the virtues and character that shape how children relate to themselves, others and the world around them. Through everyday experiences, children are encouraged not just to learn about virtues, but to put them into practice by:
The complete learning experience at LSS
Virtues and character formation
The virtues introduced and reinforced at each age level
Our faith formation programme helps children encounter Scripture, practise virtues and recognise how they can bring light to others in everyday life.
“Live as children of light.” Ephesians 5:8
Biblical stories come alive through wonder questions, engaging experiences and reflection on the seasons of the Church.
Children practise a focused virtue through daily routines, relationships and classroom experiences.
Children discover the universal Church, appreciate different cultures and learn from the lives of the saints.
Prayer, music and shared rituals help children connect with God and nurture one another’s light.
Parish partnerships invite families into community life and connect preschool learning with the wider Church.
Through Inner Lights, children learn and practise age-appropriate virtues during their daily routines, classroom experiences and relationships. The virtues grow with the child and become more complex as children progress through the different levels.
Select your child’s level
Our youngest children stay with one virtue for two terms, giving it time to settle into their daily routine.
The virtues from Playgroup return, and self-control is added and held for the second half of the year.
From Nursery, each term introduces a new virtue.
Kindergarten 1 introduces justice and prudence, two of the cardinal virtues.
By Kindergarten 2, virtues are held in pairs, and fortitude and temperance complete the cardinal virtues.
Our curriculum follows the Early Years Development Framework for our youngest children and the Nurturing Early Learners Framework for our preschoolers.
Parents and caregivers know their children best. We work hand in hand with families, sharing what children are learning and how the same values can be supported at home.
