British Curriculum Experience At Norwich

沉浸式体验：曼谷诺维奇国际学校的英国课程

At Norwich we offer a British curriculum experience, coupled with traditional Thai values. 在诺维奇，我们提供与泰国传统价值观相结合的英国课程。

Why a British Curriculum?

British education has achieved a worldwide reputation for quality, and is recognised and respected around the world. One of the huge benefits is how transferable it is – students can move seamlessly from country to country as so many reputable international schools use a British based curriculum.

为什么选择英国课程?

英国的教育质量在世界范围内享有盛誉，在世界范围内受到认可和尊重。其中一个巨大的好处是它的可转移性——学生可以无缝地从一个国家转移到另一个国家，因为许多著名的国际学校都使用英国的课程。

Key Characteristics of a British style curriculum

British education is renowned for concerning itself with the development of the whole personality. Learning is important, but not enough in itself. Young people need to develop their potential to explore and discover the world around them, to think for themselves and form opinions, to relate to others, to develop their bodies through sport and physical education, and to gain experience in taking responsibility.

英式课程的主要特点

英国教育以关注整体人格的发展而闻名。学习固然重要，但光学习还不够。青少年需要开发他们的潜能去探索和发现他们周围的世界，独立思考并形成观点，与他人建立联系，通过体育运动加强他们的身体，并获得承担责任的经验。

In the British education system, students are taught to learn by questioning, problem-solving and creative thinking rather than by the mere retention of facts, hence giving them analytical and creative thinking skills that they will need in the working world. A variety of teaching and assessment methods, designed to develop independent thought, as well as a mastery of the subject matter, is used. These are important reasons why many schools offering British style curriculum only use textbooks in Primary some of the time and in just some subject areas. In Secondary, textbooks are much more useful as the content and skills required in the curriculum become more clearly defined.

在英国的教育体系中，学生被教导通过提问、解决问题和创造性思维来学习，而不仅仅是维持现状，因此他们具备了工作中所需要的分析能力和创造性思维能力。课程采用了多种教学和评估方法，旨在培养学生的独立思考能力，以及对课程内容的掌握能力。这就是为什么许多提供英式课程的学校只在小学的部分时间和某些学科领域使用教科书的重要原因。在中学，随着课程要求的内容和技能变得更加明确，课本就变得更加有用。

Early Years Foundation Stage – EYFS (ages 3 to 5)

The learning environment combines high standards with a broad and rich curriculum. The Early Learning Goals are standards in themselves and we strive to achieve them through a variety of play-based and structured activities, striking a fine balance between both teacher-led and student-initiated play. Play underpins all development and learning for young children. The Key Learning Areas are integrated into the children’s daily programme, through a variety of experiences and activities.

早期教育基础阶段- EYFS(三至五岁)

学习环境融合了高标准和广博丰富的课程。早期学习目标本身就是一个标准，我们努力通过各种基于游戏的结构化活动来实现这些目标，在教师主导和学生发起的游戏之间保持良好的平衡。游戏是儿童所有发展和学习的基础。通过各种体验和活动，将学习领域的知识融入儿童的日常活动。

Primary Curriculum (ages 5 to 11)

Our curriculum is challenging, creative and constantly reviewed for relevance, breadth and effect. We understand that children learn best by doing, exploring and being appropriately challenged, whilst feeling safe, valued and part of a lively community.

小学课程(五至十一岁)

我们的课程富有挑战性，创造性并不断审查其相关性，广度和效果。我们认识到，孩子们通过实践、探索和接受适当的挑战后能学习得最好，同时感到安全、有价值和成为活跃社区的一部分。

We deliver a thematic curriculum in our Primary Homerooms. The thematic approach is a method of delivering teaching and learning through exciting and engaging units of work. By utilising carefully selected, cross-curricular themes, we provide a tangible and exciting context within which to develop and apply essential core skills, integral to individual subjects.

我们在小学部开设主题课程。专题研究法是一种通过刺激有趣的小块工作进行教学的方法。通过精心挑选的跨课程主题，我们提供了一个有形和令人兴奋的环境，在其中发展和应用基本的核心技能，并整合到各个学科中。

For the 2020-21 Academic Year, parents will be invited to school during each theme, to celebrate the success of your child.

2020-2021学年，每个主题期间都将邀请家长到学校，去庆祝孩子的成功。

In Primary, textbooks are not actively used within the Curriculum. At Norwich, we believe in meaningful interaction between teacher and student and that over-reliability on textbooks for Primary children has the following issues if not managed carefully:

在小学，课程上不会积极使用教科书。在诺维奇，我们信赖教师和学生之间有意义的互动，如果不谨慎处理，学生过度依赖教科书会有以下问题:

• they may not stretch the child’s imagination
• 无法拓展孩子的想象力
• interaction between teacher and student reduces markedly
• 师生之间的互动明显减少
• they can limit creativity
• 限制孩子的创造力
• it can be boring for the children
• 孩子会感到无趣
• they may not pique the child’s curiosity to know more, or to experiment
• 无法激发孩子的好奇心去了解和实践
• learning may not be deep or transformational
• 可能不会深入或变革性地学习
• it can place limits on differentiation (oftentimes different children need different material at different levels and work at different speeds)
• 限制差异化（通常不同的孩子在不同的水平，需要不同的材料，以不同的速度学习)

Secondary Curriculum (ages 11 to 18)

Key Stage 3 covers Year 7 to 9, where the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) Checkpoint curriculum is followed for the core subjects of English, Mathematics, Science and Global Perspectives.
