From the PYP Coordinator


Congratulations to our newly elected House captains!

Today at our primary school assembly we had the new house captains for next school year announced. Our House system here at Chatsworth is an integral part of our programme to work towards developing the whole child. As well as our academic programme, as we have previously seen in former posts, we also aim to develop the child as an international and global person.

We do this through the attributes of the IB learner profile Inquirer, Knowledgeable, Thinker, Communicator, Principled, Open- Minded, Caring, Risk-Takers, Balanced, Reflective and the Primary Years Programme Essential Elements of transdisciplinary skills and attitudes.

We don’t have specific lessons at school to teach this, but rather it is embedded into our programme. We look for ways to develop these areas, for example by using links in our classroom lessons and of course by using the House system.

Congratulations again to the new house captains, I’m sure they will have a very enjoyable experience!
