Curriculum Information
- Grades
- 4 – 14 years
- Curriculum
The curriculum is in line with the National Curriculum of England. Core subjects: English, mathematics, science. Foundation subjects: History and geography. Elements of art, design technology, information technology and religious education are included within the humanities programme. Off the shelf French courses at top primary and secondary level are also available.
- Structure
WES scheme relies on the active participation of the parent as teacher and is not a correspondence course as such. Lessons need to be prepared and regular periods of time must be devoted to teaching and marking. However, there is no set timetable and the courses are flexible.
- Teaching Helps
All teaching notes are presented in folders, organised by subject for Primary and Secondary. The courses are designed for families to follow with ease and very well written and no previous teaching experience is required.
- Records
At regular intervals (usually 6 weeks) the parent-teacher submits samples of the child’s work to the WES tutor together with an assessment of the child’s progress. The tutor will make any comments she feels are helpful and answers any queries families may have.
