Winford Bilingual Primary School offers a bilingual education ratio of 50% English and 50% Dutch. We have created our own unique curriculum using the Dutch national curriculum and the UK national curriculum, both of which are linked closely with the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). Each classroom has a fully qualified English and Dutch speaking teacher. Each teacher speaks their native language to our students, and all subjects are taught in both languages.Â
This helps Winford Bilingual Primary School children develop their communication and comprehension abilities in both Dutch and English.

Attention to Diversity at Winford Bilingual Primary School
Attention to diversity
Information about the curricular adaptation of the Winford Bilingual Primary School
When a child starts, the school's instructional coach and the class teachers observe and assess their educational needs and draw up a personal development plan. If extra support or testing is needed, it is discussed with the family, including any additional cost. Families whose child already receives special support at another school are asked to tell the school in advance so the right classroom fit can be arranged.

Information about the educational stages of the Winford Bilingual Primary School
Winford Bilingual Amsterdam teaches children aged 4 to 12 in mixed-age classes that each span two year groups: Panda (groups 1-2), Zebra (groups 3-4), Giraffe (groups 5-6) and Eagle (groups 7-8). Classes have two teachers and around 18 to 20 pupils. Montessori materials and ideals are used, and children are taught according to ability rather than age. In the Eagle class the programme runs in five-week terms followed by a week of enrichment and review, and pupils look after a plot in a schooltuin (school garden). Families start thinking about secondary school in group 5 and choose between the Dutch and the international pathway in group 6.
