Years 1 & 2
Selwyn House gave my daughter the most incredible foundation, not just academically but socially and emotionally. The IB Primary Years Programme nurtured her into a confident and capable learner.

Past Parent
The early years of school are a time of growth and discovery. At Selwyn House School, Years 1 & 2 students are immersed in an environment where learning is engaging and meaningful.
Through an inquiry-led approach grounded in the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP), students begin to explore the world around them with curiosity and confidence. From the beginning, they learn to share ideas, communicate and build a lifelong love of learning.
