Summer tips and a look ahead - Coding

2026 – 2027 Academic Year – Starts in September

Looking ahead to the new academic year, we are excited to introduce fresh material and new project-based learning experiences across all levels. Our programmes for 2026/27 will place an even greater emphasis on STEAM learning — integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics — helping students connect coding and technology with real-world creativity, innovation, and critical thinking.

As summer begins, we also encourage families to support healthy, balanced relationships with technology. Digital devices can be powerful tools for learning and self-development when used intentionally and creatively. Parents can lead by EXAMPLE 😊

Some positive ways children can use technology over the summer include:

• Building simple coding projects or games
• Exploring digital art, animation, or music creation
• Learning through educational platforms and interactive challenges
• Creating videos, presentations, or digital storytelling projects
• Researching topics they are personally curious about – Cooking – Growing Plants – Improving Hobbies areas etc 😊 Encourage your child to use technology in a meaningful way 😊

Use YouTube and educational platforms for self-development 😊

At the same time, balance remains important. We encourage children to combine technology use with outdoor activities, sports, reading, social interaction, and time away from screens to support overall well-being and development.
