BEPS International School

Yes. We have teaching assistants in our Toddlers, Pre-School and Reception groups.

At BEPS we regard technology as an integral part of students’ learning. From Reception upwards, the children visit the Computer room once a week (in half class-sized groups). Here they develop their skills at their own level. When appropriate the children also have the opportunity to use our bank of Chromebooks and iPads in their classroom.

Yes. Online learning was implemented for all year levels during the COVID-19 quarantines. Platforms: SeeSaw for Early Years, Lower School and Year 3, Google classroom for Upper School, Google Classroom and ManageBac for Secondary, ManageBac for parents. These are used alongside the established email procedures.

All children that join our school with no or limited knowledge of English will receive English as an Additional Language (EAL) to accelerate their English development and allow them to fully access the curriculum. During their first 6 weeks at BEPS, the beginners participate in the EAL "Fun Club" and receive daily a "Survival English" lesson to help them settle into our English speaking environment. After this period, and according to the child's level, the Learning Support team and Class Teacher will recommend the appropriate number of EAL sessions for the rest of the year. Parents will be informed before the sessions begin and will receive feedback on progress at the end of each term. The number of EAL sessions is reviewed on a termly basis.

When a child needs support that can't be provided through differentiated lessons in the classroom, or following the diagnosis of a specific learning need, they can receive Special Educational Needs (SEN) support. In consultation with the classroom teacher and according to the child's level, the Learning Support team will recommend the appropriate number of sessions. Parents will be informed before the sessions begin. This support will be reviewed on a termly basis.
