Introduction To Dulwich College Kindergarten Shanghai (DUCKS)Welcome to DUCKS where life is an exciting journey from Toddler to Year 2.Our philosophy is:We care and we shareWe learn so we can help othersWe have friends from many different countriesWe always try our very bestWe try new thingsWe work and play togetherWe are all good at somethingWe grow and change togetherOur aim is to ensure that all children in our care are happy, confident, well-motivated, and enthusiastic aboutlife and learning. Our emphasis on learning through play in the Early Years (Toddler, Nursery and Reception)Programme, supported by a high quality curriculum and well planned learning environment, means that thechildren are active learners progressing at their own pace. At Year 1 and Year 2 the children build on what theyalready know and understand and are encouraged to become independent learners.The children enjoy a very broad and well-balanced curriculum and are encouraged to take part in co-curricularactivities. Children in DUCKS receive specialist teaching in Mandarin, Music, PE, and ICT as well as enjoyingregular visits to the Library to hear stories, borrow books, and begin to learn to use library as a research tool. Everychild in DUCKS receives Mandarin language instruction every day. The children in Year 1 and Year 2 are put intogroups for Mandarin based on their experience and understanding. Thus, from very early in their lives, childrenlearn to appreciate the language and culture of our host country, China.We aim that all the children will leave DUCKS with a love of learning which well enable them to become life longlearners in our ever changing world.Mrs. Joanne WoodwardHead of DUCKS5
Introduction To The Junior SchoolIn the Junior School we have high standards and expectations, believing that when both adults and children areenjoying themselves, much can be achieved. Learning and teaching should be FUN!Building on the excellent foundations laid in DUCKS we continue to embrace the English National Curriculumand the Primary Framework for Literacy and Mathematics. Our cross-curricular Humanities programme istailored to our international / China context.Our teachers come mainly from the UK, Australia and New Zealand with a sprinkling of North Americans.There is considerable scope for teachers to develop their own interests and ideas during the school day andduring co-curricular activities. Energy, enthusiasm and innovation are welcomed.We consider ourselves an extremely privileged community and the desire to ‘give back‘ is strong. The JuniorSchool is, therefore, ‘twinned’ with a local Migrant School that we support financially and with whom we alsoorganise activities. Preservation of the environment is promoted through a hugely popular ‘Eco Dudes’ club.Our students are a delight. In each Year Group 3-6, there are five classes (maximum 22 students) all of whomremain in the care of their class teacher for the majority of the time. However Physical Education, Games, Music,Art and Mandarin are taught by specialists so there is meaningful time available for planning – individually andacross Year Groups. The Additional Educational Needs Department provides one to one and in-class support, asrequired.In summary: the Junior School has enviable facilities and is outstandingly well resourced. Our parents are extraordinarilysupportive. The staff truly enjoy each other’s company and that of our students.Do consider joining us: you won’t be disappointed.Mrs. Ros SimmondsHead of Junior School6
