Keldiley International School is located at No.11 Ifite Ukpo Street New

haven, Enugu State, we opened in May 2018. Whilst being a new school, we
draw on over 15 years of experience in education and administration of some
members of our sta . We cater to the educational needs of children aged 3
months to 10 years, with available classes from Crèche to Elementary. We will
continue to grow in size without compromising on our top-notch International
standards.

The Founder's rationale for starting Keldiley is predicated on setting the pace for others to follow. Keldiley International
School o ers world-class education driven by passion to inspire students to become knowledgeable leaders with a global
vision. The KISE is “the school you've always dreamt of”. We ensure a balance between formal learning and learning
through play (Montessori).

'Bringing out the best in our children' is our constant aim. This means developing and nurturing a successful blend of
academic, moral, spiritual, social, physical and creative attributes which will equip our young people to cope with the
demands of life both as children and later in life as adults.

Keldiley International School is fully committed to learning. Rather than just pumping children with information
through traditional teaching methods, we place a great deal of importance on the pupils' ability to work independently
and to develop their own thinking and creativity through classroom based activities and extracurricular activities.

We are goal oriented and strives for continuous improvement in teaching and learning. We prepare our students not just
for school but for life. We strive for excellence by ensuring high standard and prepare them to lead. We place great value
on character and moral education as well on academic achievements that ensures every individual student thrives and
discovers their own strengths and abilities, whatever their passion or talent.

We encourage children to reach their potential and recognize that every child is special and has their own contribution to
make. Our approach ensures that each child's learning experience will be nurtured at the proper pace, and will give them
a strong educational foundation for a bright future.

CRECHE (RAINBOW BEES)

Our crèche can be described as 'home away from

home' with the aesthetic ambience of the
environment; tastefully furnished to cater for the
needs of the Rainbow Bees and the demands of
discerning parents. The nursery is adequately
equipped with Montessori materials to stimulate
the minds of these young ones to imagine and
create even as they play, developing their
language, cognitive and social skills. The caregivers
are well-trained professionals. The daily activities
in the crèche include circle time, free play, nursery
rhymes and songs, finger play, painting, scribbling,
outdoor play, working with the Montessori and
enrichment materials, nature walks and of course,
feeding. Good parenting and easy transition from home
to school are highly complemented. The operational hours are
from 7.30am to 3.00pm. Parents have nothing to worry about as the
children are well taken care of. It is simply "Babies' Place" and by all standards,
among the best crèches in Enugu.

The Early Years Foundational Stage (EYFS)

Our early year foundation stage is divided into four levels:

Ÿ Playgroup (1 year to 2 years) Cradles & Colours

Ÿ Pre-kindergarten (2year to 3 years) Little Giggles

Ÿ Kindergarten (3 years to 4 years) Gemstar

Ÿ Reception (4 years to 5 years) Bright Minds

The emphasis in the Early Years is on active learning through

play, allowing the children to develop and reach their potential by
working at their own level and pace. Our aim is to create an atmosphere in
which the children are encouraged to be self-motivated, curious and confident in
themselves and their work and to take pride in their achievements. The Early Years is
designed to provide a happy, purposeful introduction to school life.

THE EARLY YEARS CURRICULUM

The curriculum in the Early Years is based on a

medley of the best of Nigerian Curriculum, the
British Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum
(EYFS), American curriculum and the Montessori
curriculum which provide a framework for the
education of children from birth to 5 years old.
Within the EYFS Framework, teachers provide
activities and make assessments judgments based
on the seven areas of learning:

Three Prime areas

Ÿ Communication and Language
Ÿ Physical Development
Ÿ Pe r s o n a l , S o c i a l a n d E m o t i o n a l
Development

Four Specific areas

Ÿ Mathematics
Ÿ Literacy
Ÿ Understanding the World
Ÿ Expressive Arts and Design

Whilst all learning areas are important and inter-connected, the three Prime areas are crucial for igniting children's
curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, building their capacity to learn and form relationships and thrive. The Specific
areas will enable children to be self-motivated learners who are confident to succeed.

Under these seven areas of learning sta provide activities that enable each child to achieve the goals and objectives
appropriate to his or her individual stage of development. The children's individual interests are observed and then
developed further to extend their learning. Therefore there will be a number of di erent interests being developed at one
time to meet the needs of individuals.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

At Keldiley International School our aim is to

ensure that all the children in our care are happy,
confident, well-motivated, enthusiastic and
excited about life. We aim to provide an
appropriate and balanced academic challenge,
which will enable each pupil to realise his or her
potential in a safe, caring, clean and supportive
environment.

The primary formative years are set to achieve a

secure level of functionality and e ectiveness in
the core skills which includes: reading, oral and
written communication, enquiry and research, and
dexterity with numbers. These are the important
prime factors, without which further progress in the
students learning can be inhibited. In addition, through topics,
themes, projects and standardized internationally acceptable best
practice of teaching and learning, the pupils also acquire knowledge, skills and
understanding about their world. They are taught to inquire, use and apply skills
learned and develop international mindedness as they explore the global perspectives of various aspect of their learning.

The Primary School caters for children aged 5 to 10 (Yr. 1 to Yr. 6) years old. As is the Keldiley standard, classrooms
designed to be light, airy and well-resourced in order to meet the needs of the curriculum. At Keldiley we use an
integrated curriculum comprising of Nigerian, British, Montessori, American and other curricula to ensure that the
children are given the best and are up to speed.

DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION, WE SEEK TO

Ÿ Ensure that pupils receive optimum tuition in order to maximize attainment and enhance their general
development.
Ÿ Emphasize the importance of developing the core skills in Literacy and Numeracy.
Ÿ Provide a stimulating and enjoyable learning environment in which happiness and application flourish side by
side.
Ÿ Advice, guide and train the child to develop appropriate behavioural skills at individual and group levels.
Ÿ Introduce another modern language, o ering the challenge of learning a di erent form of communication.
Ÿ O er the right challenges within a well-supervised and caring environment to enhance self-esteem and self-
confidence.
SENIOR ELEMENTARY (Y4 - Y6)

Ÿ Without losing sight of the initial objectives,

the senior elementary stage extends the
challenges o ered. The curriculum becomes
more specialized, with the addition of new
knowledge and skill training as detailed below:

Ÿ The emphasis on the core skills continues,

but increasingly, these skills are used to
seek out information and solve problems.
Ÿ Specialist help also continues for those
who have not yet achieved acceptable
levels of skill.
Ÿ The use of new technologies in science and
Information Communication Technology
and development of practical skills through Arts
and Craft, initiate the child into the modern world.
Ÿ The levels of demand in terms of self-discipline and personal
organization are raised and responsibilities are increased at both
individual and group level.
Ÿ Cultural and environmental studies advance knowledge of the world with various projects reinforcing the set
learning goals.
Ÿ
A solid foundation is created at this level to ensure a smooth transition into the secondary school.

have been learning, how their learning could be
extended further and links to our curriculum
document.

COMMUNICATION WITH SCHOOL:

THE KISE BEHAVIOUR POLICY

CODE OF CONDUCT
We believe in the importance of high personal
standards and seek to encourage pupils of all ages
to make responsible decisions about how to
behave. We expect our pupils to be well-behaved
at all times and through their positive Behaviour to
promote the public face of Keldiley School.

AIMS
Ÿ To develop a whole school behaviour
policy, supported and followed by every
member of the community.
Ÿ To encourage good behaviour rather than
to simply punish bad Behaviour, by providing
a range of rewards for children of all ages and
abilities.
Ÿ To make clear to children the distinction between minor and more
serious misbehaviour and the range of sanctions that will follow.
Ÿ To treat problems when they occur in a caring and sympathetic manner in the hope of achieving an
improvement in behaviour.
Ÿ To encourage firmness and fairness in handling students' misconduct.

GENERAL EXPECTATIONS

Ÿ All legitimate instructions given by members of sta and student representatives must be carried out willingly
and promptly.
Ÿ Students must remain within the school bounds during the day.
Ÿ It is unacceptable to use any form of abusive or intolerant language at any other person.
Ÿ Property should be respected at all times, whether it belongs to the school, sta or fellow students.

Ÿ Students must be on time for registration and lessons
Ÿ Classrooms or laboratories should only be entered with the permission of the teacher and students should wait
quietly outside until invited to enter.
Ÿ Sta should be addressed by their title and surname e.g. 'Mr. John' or 'Mrs. Chukwu'. Visitors should be addressed
by their title as 'Sir' or “Ma'am”.
Ÿ Food and drink may only be consumed in designated eating areas
Ÿ Students may not bring mobile phones, personal music players, personal computer game players or any other
electronic devices to school. Such items will be confiscated and not returned until the last day of the session.

DEALING WITH NEGATIVE

BEHAVIOUR
We employ a number of sanctions to ensure a safe and positive learning environment. Each sanction is appropriated to an
individual situation. The safety of the children is paramount in all situations. If a child's behaviour endangers the safety of
others, the member of sta stops the activity and isolates this child. In accordance with the regulations we do not use
corporal punishment and as such Teachers in our School do not hit, push or slap children. Members of Sta only
intervene physically to restrain children from hurting themselves or others. The actions we take are in line with the
Nigerian and British government guidelines on the restraint of children.
We focus on the behaviour as the problem not the child; hence we punish by recording in the school communication
book, reading during play time etc
Furthermore, serious incidents including bullying or repeated medium level behaviour are referred to the Deputy or
Head Teacher. Bullying refers to actions taken by one or more children with the deliberate intention of hurting another
child or children, either physically or emotionally through racist or sexist actions or through inappropriate use of
websites, email, mobile phones, text messages and photographs (cyber bullying). Appropriate punishment may include
expulsion.

PARENTS AS PARTNERS
We work collaboratively with parents, to ensure continued learning on the home and school front as we understand that
reinforcement is the key to complete and total learning. A supportive dialogue system is built using the Home-School
Communication book and other avenues like the Parent Teachers conference, Open day and the Parent- Teacher
Association to help keep parents informed of their children's academic progress, behavioural concerns (if any) and
welfare in general. We understand parents need to believe that their children's learning needs are been met. As a result,
prospective parents and their children are encouraged to visit the school -and observe our student's work.
Homework is set 3 times a week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday) while we give the pupil age appropriate books to read
(Mondays and Thursday) and parents are encouraged to take an active interest in the projects their children are working
on. We believe readers are leaders.
