We are admitting into:

• Reception classes
• Nursery Classes
• Grade Classes

A blend of British and Nigeria Curriculum lies at the heart of what we teach at Phostine Premium Schools. Our Curriculum provides a framework that sets clear expectations for pupils learning. Its criteria, element and aspect are designed to aid children's learning in a unique way, hence our unique results.

The Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and the Key stage Curriculum are both designed to:

• be broad and balanced;
• promote the moral, cultural, intellectual, physical and spiritual development of children;
• empower them to be bold, confidence and outspoken in every situation;
• prepare children for the opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences of adult life;

The curriculum at Phostine Premium Schools is not static and is subject to ongoing social, political, economic, scientific and technological development in order to enhance delivery to our children.

For children to learn successfully, we believe they need:

• to develop positive self-images through the knowledge of self-awareness;
• to have equal opportunities and benefit from the curriculum, hence, no discrimination;
• opportunities to form positive relationships within a stable and secure environment;
• opportunities to express themselves creatively and apply their skills and knowledge;
• access to a range of stimulating activities and appropriate tools.

Regular assessments are made of each child's progress and these are used by teachers to plan the next steps in learning. Formal termly assessments are also conducted in English, Mathematics, Science and other subjects. These results are reported to parents. Our midterm review which coincides with Open House gives parents opportunity to assess their children's performance as well as provide the necessary environment to engage the instructors and management in a town hall meeting.

ASSEMBLY

It is a legal requirement that schools hold a daily assembly which includes an act of collective worship. Within our community we have many faiths, all of which are valued, and therefore, assemblies are conducted in a manner that is sensitive to all members of the school. All major festivals are acknowledged, whether they are Christian or Muslim.

How can parents help?

• Encouraging them to complete the homework tasks that are set and to give them confidence through lots of praise and encouragement.
• Helping your child to see the importance of homework and teach them to become more independent and take more responsibility for themselves as they get older.
• Helping your child as and when they feel it necessary, and to provide them with the sort of environment that allows children to do their best, e.g. Providing a good working space at home, including a desk/table in a quiet, uncluttered space.
• Checking the communication book daily, and make comments in it regularly. We would encourage parents to surf the internet for educative search to support their children’s education. We also encourage parents to visit the library with their child on a regular basis to foster a love of books and reading.

On Time, Every Day

It is essential that children come to school every day and on time, as we know that good attendance leads to good progress. School starts at 7.50 a.m. and registration takes place at 8.30 a.m Children arriving after this time are recorded as late. Children arriving after 9.30 a.m are marked as absent for the morning session.

If a child is ill, parents must place a phone call to the school. Children should be absent from school only if they are ill. If a child needs to be absent for any other reason, parents must contact the Head Instructor. Children cannot be allowed to leave school during the school day unless there is an emergency, in which case the child should be picked up personally by the parent or named carer with the consent of the Head Instructor.

These do happen in school as they do elsewhere in the community. We provide first aid where necessary and will contact you immediately if the situation demands it. Sometimes it is necessary for a child to be taken to hospital and if this happens you will be contacted as soon as possible. A member of staff will always accompany a child to the hospital and stay with child until your arrival. As responsible school, we eliminate any accident causing situation when we notice them. All accidents are recorded.

The school should be notified immediately if a child has an infectious disease. Children who are unwell with an infectious disease should not be at school. Once they feel better, they will be admitted to class, unless they pose a risk of infection to others. Infection that require evidence of complete cure include COVID-19, measles, flu, small pox, chicken pox and any other infectious disease not mentioned here.

We cannot administer medication to a child unless it is prescribed by a doctor. If a child needs to take a prescribed medicine during the school day, their parent should take the medicine to the School Office and complete a brief form authorizing the administrative staff to dispense the medicine to their child.

The school should be made aware of any allergies from which a child may suffer before the child joins the school. Many children suffer from asthma and parents are asked to complete a medical form for their child, to ensure that they receive the correct treatment when necessary.

The school contracts the service of a professional food vendor for a Healthy, well-balanced meals. Children may bring packed lunch if they prefer and this should contain a balanced meal with no fizzy drinks.

If parents wish to make a complaint, it is recommended that in the first instance they speak to the Head Instructor or Business Development Officer (BDO).

It is a primary aim of our school that every member of the school community feels valued and respected, and that each person is treated fairly and well. We pride ourselves on being a caring community, whose values are built on mutual trust and respect for all. The school’s Behaviour Policy is therefore designed to ensure that all members of the school can live and work together in a happy, safe and secure way. At the beginning of the academic session, each Class instructor discusses the meaning of Effective Learning with their class and uses this to form a Class Code for Effective Learning. This is agreed by the children and displayed on the wall of the classroom, and also sent home to parents. In this way, every child in the school knows the standard of behaviour that is expected in school and why.

Behaviour which shows lack of thought for other people is unacceptable. We will not tolerate any behaviour which is aimed at hurting another person or group of people. In the case of serious misbehaviour, the Head Instructor will contact parents to discuss the matter. The Head Instructor has the authority to exclude a child from school, either permanently or for a fixed period, if that child’s behaviour can no longer reasonably be contained within the school.

Incidents of bullying are always taken seriously and are dealt with in accordance with the school’s Behaviour Policy. We strongly encourage our children to tell us, or someone close to them, if they experience bullying of any kind, so that it can be dealt with immediately.
