How We Learn: Playing, Exploring, Creating

Playing

At Sathorn, play is the foundation of all learning in the Early Years. We create rich, engaging environments where children are free to explore, imagine, and investigate through hands-on, playful experiences. Through purposeful play, our youngest learners develop confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.

Exploring

Exploring supports children’s natural curiosity and desire to learn about the world around them. Through exploration, children engage with their environment using all their senses, investigating objects, materials, and spaces in a hands-on and meaningful way.

Creating

Creating encourages children to express themselves through a wide range of imaginative and artistic experiences. Whether through drawing, painting, building, role-play, music, or storytelling, creative activities allow children to explore their ideas, emotions, and understanding of the world.

Designed to support students new to English through targeted small-group lessons and in-class support, promoting rapid progress in language proficiency—thanks to our experienced EAL specialists.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Through personalised planning, regular reviews, and collaboration with therapists, psychologists, and learning support assistants, our SEN programme ensures all children can succeed in an inclusive, caring environment.

Language Learning at Sathorn

At St. Andrews Sathorn, we highly value language learning as a vital part of cultural understanding. Thai language lessons are part of the curriculum for all children from Kindergarten onwards, with two lessons per week in Kindergarten and Reception, and three lessons per week at primary level. This ensures a rich, bilingual experience that respects and celebrates our host culture.

Safeguarding in the Early Years at Our School

At our school, we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of safeguarding within the Early Years (EY) setting. Our Early Years Designated Safeguarding Lead (EYDSL) works in close partnership with the whole-school Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) to provide expert oversight and support for our youngest children.

Our safeguarding practices include clear and comprehensive intimate care policies and procedures, thorough risk assessments tailored specifically to the EY environment, and regular safeguarding training for all staff. This ensures that our team is well-informed, confident, and prepared to protect every child.

We also educate our Early Years children about protective behaviours in an age-appropriate manner. This helps them understand how to stay safe, recognise when they need help, and confidently seek support when necessary.

Additionally, we work closely with new parents, providing guidance and support on safeguarding their children both in and out of school, ensuring a safe and secure environment for all.

Yesterday at St Andrews Sathorn, we invited our Early Years parents to join their children in the classroom for a special “Stay and Play” session! It was a wonderful morning filled with laughter, creativity, and learning through play.

Why do we have stay and play?

🌟 It gives parents a wonderful opportunity to see how their child learns through play — exploring, creating, and discovering alongside their friends and teachers.
🌟 Children feel proud and excited to share their learning and school environment with someone special from home.
🌟 It’s also a fantastic way to strengthen the connection between home and school, building a shared understanding of each child’s unique learning journey.
🌟 Research shows that when families take part in early learning experiences, children develop stronger social skills, better communication, and a deeper love of learning.

Thank you to all the parents who were able to join us — we loved seeing you play, learn, and have fun together!
