| Teaching approach of the school |
Winford Bilingual primary schools are the only total immersion, dual language primary schools in the Netherlands. We have created our own unique curriculum using the Dutch national curriculum and the UK national curriculum, both of which are linked closely with the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). All core subjects are taught equally in Dutch and English. IPC is taught in both English and Dutch. Our school is designed to be a nurturing environment where every child's individuality is celebrated, and learning is an exciting lifelong journey. |
