King's Infant School, the British School of Elche

King´s Infant School, Elche is opening as a result of the success of King´s College, Alicante and to meet the demand of residents from Elche and its environs, for a high quality British education.

King´s Infant School, Elche (KISE) will act primarily as a feeder school for its sister school King´s College, Alicante. Pupils at the end of Key Stage 1 (Year 2) will naturally progress to Key Stage 2 (Year 3) at King´s College Alicante (dependent upon satisfactorily meeting the same requirements as KCA pupils in terms of accessing the curriculum and behavioural reports).

In the first year of operation, KISE will admit pupils from Pre Nursery (18 months) to Year 1; thereafter, the school will admit pupils up to Y2. 

King’s Infant School, The British School of Elche is a dedicated Infant School offering a British education to approximately 200 pupils from the age of 2 (Pre-Nursery) to 7 years old (Year 2). The school is due to open its doors in September 2017 and will boast a wide range of onsite facilities for our young learners.

All classrooms will be fitted with interactive whiteboards and there are computers in all Primary classrooms. Pupils will also have access to a full digital learning programme, including iPADS to encourage the pupils creativity on these digital platforms.

Our school has been specifically designed to offer a safe, spacious and creative learning environment. Like all King’s College schools our focus for learning is to offer our pupils an environment that will enthuse and stimulate, through a diverse and engaging curriculum.

 School Curriculum

King’s College offers a British curriculum alongside, for Spanish pupils, obligatory parts of the Spanish curriculum. As well as a full range of National Curriculum subjects, pupils from Year 1 also study Spanish Language, with the addition of Valencian, Spanish and Geography from Year 2 until Year 11.

The Early Years Department, consisting of Nursery and Reception, follows the EYFS curriculum. The National Curriculum is taught throughout Key Stages 1, 2 and 3. In Key Stage 4 pupils study for I/GCSEs, and go on to study for A Levels in Years 12 and 13. Those pupils who wish to go on to higher education in Spain follow an additional programme of Complementary Studies in Spanish, to fully prepare them for courses at Spanish universities.

Music, Drama and Dance form an important part of the extra-curricular programme and throughout the school year there are shows, recitals   and concerts. Our Musical Productions are highly acclaimed in the area.

Sports play an integral role at the school and pupils are encouraged to take part in tournaments and local competitive events, in addition to their normal PE classes. Several of our pupils hold ´elite sportsman´status  in a variety of disciplines and some have received full Sports Colours for their achievements.

Our Staff 

All National Curriculum teachers at King’s College schools are native British and/or British trained. We hire teachers who are passionate about their subject, who take pleasure in seeing their pupils develop and who are dedicated in their role. We also employ highly qualified native language specialists and a range of Classroom Assistants and Erasmus students.High priority is afforded to keeping teaching staff up to date with UK educational developments, through training sessions, extensive CPD opportunities and an annual Professional Development Conference  .

Our Pupils

Our pupils are expected to work hard, take academia very seriously, and strive for their best results. They are also expected to play a full role in the life of the school available to them, taking advantage of the wide range of activities, particularly in the fields of performing arts and sports.   

The school has a thriving and competitive House system, and pupils are encouraged to get involved in the many house competitions during the year, which include academic and sport activities, as well as public performances.   

Many pupils travel to school on one of our (award winning) school buses, some have long journeys. This makes it all the more important that we work hard to provide a warm and welcoming environment for our pupils and their families.

 Safeguarding Children King´s College Alicante  is committed to the safe keeping, protection and nurturing of children, with respect for their wishes and feelings. We will therefore:     

• Establish and maintain an environment where children feel safe and secure,      are encouraged to talk, and are listened to.
• Ensure adults are appropriately trained in good practice and follow      clear guidelines of conduct with children and other adults. 
• Develop our safer recruitment practice in checking the suitability of      adults and volunteers to work with children in line with our Safer      Recruitment Policy.
• Include opportunities in the PSHEEC  curriculum for children to develop the      skills they need to recognize and stay safe from abuse, and to understand      the appropriate behaviour that relatives, friends, and strangers may      demonstrate towards children. 
• Ensure children receive guidance on how they can deal with the      behaviour of others that gives them cause for concern and know that there      are adults in the school whom they can approach if they are worried. 
• Clarify the procedures for identifying and reporting cases or      suspected cases of abuse or neglect. 
• Support pupils who have been abused/neglected in accordance with an      agreed child protection plan. 
• Enable parents to recognize that the school is a caring establishment      where they too can seek support and advice in matters relating to      safeguarding children.
