The Infant Department of the International School provides its pupils with an exciting, engaging and nurturing introduction to school life.

The Infant Department has four classes, all based at Cherry Hinton Hall. The Kindergarten Class welcomes pupils from the age of 3 years old, Caspian Class (National Curriculum Reception, pupils, aged 4-5), Coral Class (National Curriculum Year 1, pupils aged 5-6) and Caribbean Class (National Curriculum Year 2, pupils aged 6-7). The Kindergarten and Caspian pupils share three spacious rooms and are divided into smaller groups for several of their activities.

We have on average 12 children in our classes with a teacher and an assistant. We firmly believe that children will learn effectively when they are ready to do so and when they are in the right environment. We do not introduce formal academic work too early, believing that children really do learn a great deal through play, through using their imagination, learning to share and play happily with their classmates at Nursery and Reception level. The level of achievement our children reach is very impressive.
