Welcome to
Rose of Sharon Academy
CBC/8-4-4 & Cambridge Curriculum

We are excited to be an integral part of your child’s foundational learning years.
Inside this pack is all the information that you need to ensure that your child has a
smooth transition into our school.

We believe that communication between home and school is key to helping us get to
know your child as quickly as possible. We operate on an “open door” policy, so if you
have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask anyone on our team.

Our strength as a school lies in our ethos which is based in our school mission: “to
mold a generation of skilled, responsible and dignified leaders who will be sought after for
their competence.” We aim for all our learners to be model citizens when they leave
the school, understanding their place in the wider community.

We hope that your child will have a wonderful time in our school. We believe we are
able to provide you and your family with not only happy memories that will last
forever, but also academic success for your children to achieve their full potential in
everything they do.

CBC CURRICULUM
Pre-school

We believe that education should start on the right footing and for us that means
spaces that feel like home; nurturing, warm, safe and designed for fun. Our
kindergarten welcomes children from the age of two to six years old.

At RSA, we pride ourselves on being able to provide a seamless transition for your
children by creating a happy, safe and inclusive environment where they develop at a
relaxed pace and are encouraged to explore and experiment.

The introduction of the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) combines the use of
structure and routine with opportunities for free choice and exploration. Our
versatile approach to teaching incorporates contemporary methods by using play and
technology.

Whilst we recognize the importance of child-led activities, we acknowledge that
children need a balance of structure and free choice to ensure that they experience
all areas of learning, and in particular, those areas they find more challenging. Our
highly capable team has a wide-ranging set of skills, which enables us to ensure that
all our children proceed to the next stage of their education with confidence and a
genuine enthusiasm for learning.

We also incorporate a wide range of extra curricular activities such as roller skating,
swimming, music, among others, which are paramount for developing social, physical
and interpersonal skills.
