Extended Curriculum

Taking learning further.

Our goal is to educate our children in every way possible, giving them a variety of chances to explore and learn in different fields.

Children can explore new things, get more enthusiastic, and cultivate hobbies that last a lifetime in a variety of ways. Everyone can find something of interest.

Sport

At Polam, sports are a big part of daily life. We have an indoor pool, a specialised gym, and access to nearby sports fields. All children, regardless of age, skill, or potential, are taken care of by our dedicated PE teacher. The kids gain by participating in team sports, competing, and reaching their personal goals.

We think that sport should be enjoyable above all. All of the kids seem to love their games and physical education classes at the sports hall. In addition, a variety of club activities—including tennis instruction—occur at lunch, after school, and on Saturdays. We provide indoor swimming pool instruction all academic year long.

Swimming

Every week, our staff of highly skilled and knowledgeable swimming instructors instructs the children in small groups.

Along with offering a variety of weekly instruction including antenatal classes, infant and toddler sessions, squad swimming, and adult beginners, we also operate one of the best swim schools in the community.

Languages

French, Spanish, and introductory German are the languages that Polam offers lessons in from an early age.

In addition to making the sessions entertaining and interesting, the specialised language teacher employs music, rhyme, and actions to help the children improve their vocabulary, intonation, and pronunciation. This helps them remember the words more successfully.

Wellbeing & RISE

As part of the Cognita Schools Family, Polam participates in Cognita's yearly Global Be Well Day. We used this oppotunity to create our own Week To Be Well, which eventually led to the inclusion of specific wellness activities in the weekly schedule.

Our dedication to wellness year-round is demonstrated by the presence of a Mental Health First Aider and a Wellbeing Champion in the school, which serves as further evidence of the significance of wellbeing within our school.

We also adhere to the Resilience in Schools & Education programme (RISE), which offers educators a thorough and adaptable framework to assist students in becoming more resilient in the classroom and helps them to feel more stable and emotionally secure.

It covers eight areas which we know are important for resiliency (Competence, Contribution, Confidence, Connectedness, Character, Coping, Control, Enjoyment), and includes a range of practical strategies for each.
