Early Years (Ages 2 to 5)

From the age of two, children enjoy lessons with UK-qualified Early Years teachers with subject specialists for classes in Music, Swimming, PE, Library, and from age 4, Thai and Mandarin.

All teachers undergo child safety and first aid training as they join the School, with many bringing specialist knowledge and a wealth of experience teaching children.

Children are assessed throughout and at the end of the year against the Early Learning Goals (ELGs), which outline the expected knowledge and skills across the seven areas of the EYFS curriculum. These goals build a strong foundation for Year 1.

Early Learning Goals cover expected outcomes in Literacy, Mathematics, Physical Development, Understanding the World, Expressive Arts and Design, Communication and Language, and Personal, Social and Emotional Development; ensuring children are ready for the next stage of learning. 

Children should also demonstrate they have learnt to listen and communicate clearly, show good coordination and control, and develop confidence, self-management and positive relationships.

Each term we arrange a special trip or event for your child. These develop in breadth and complexity as your child grows older.

When children are 4 years old, they can stay at school for an extended school day, taking part in co-curricular activities such as Fun Art, STEAM, Maths and Lego clubs. This starts with one session a week and increases to four days throughout the year. Our award-winning co-curricular programme then extends as students move through the year groups at School.

Every family receives and can contribute to a Tapestry digital journal – a private online record showing your child’s progress and learning journey at Rugby School Thailand. It’s a beautiful record of just how much progress children make at Rugby School Thailand.

Parents can meet and talk with teachers at any time but two formal meetings are arranged each term with a progress report prepared for parents before each opportunity to formally discuss your child’s educational journey with the School.

Inspired by “Caring Koala”, one of our unique Learner Profile characters, Kindness is ever-present in our Pre-Prep school. Through experiences, we teach children to be kind, respectful and mindful of others every day.
