与众不同的寄宿生活

01/ 课堂之外

02/ 现代化的寄宿设施

当学生们选择加入佛山霍利斯的寄宿项目，他们将会和同龄伙伴共住一个套间。现代化的房间设计确保学生有充足的个人空间以及社交空间，满足学生的日常需求，让他们全身心投入学习和生活。

03/ 英式学院制

谈起英式学校，不能不提及学院制度，这是英式学校最独特的地方之一。学院是学校的子单元，每个学生在入学时都会被分配到一个学院。学院制度的主要目的是提供成长关怀和培养社区归属感，以及鼓励良性竞争，并从中发展团队精神和合作意识。

在佛山霍利斯，四个学院分别分布在四座学生公寓中。学生公寓为寄宿学生提供住宿的同时，也为所有学生提供一系列学习和社交设施。

学院制度涵盖各类学科及课外活动，包括体育、艺术及各种跨学科活动。通过良性竞争帮助学生更好地投入学习，并锻炼他们的社交能力。通常情况下，积极参加学院活动的学生也更能够全身心地投入到学习当中。在整个学年中，我们的学生会参加许多学院活动，包括学院集会、学院运动会、辩论赛和拼写比赛。高年级组的学生也有机会申请担任学院队长，培养自己的领导力和责任感。

『家校』紧密联系，共促美好校园

学校是一个社区，因此，当家庭和学校之间存在牢固的关系时，学校才能在最佳状态下运作。家长可能不了解学校每天发生的所有事情，但如果他们知道是可以提问并被倾听，双方积极的关系就会被建立，进而能支持学生的教育。当学校和家长一同展示出我们的核心价值观时，相当于向学生强调，他们的父母和老师是值得信赖的榜样。

倾听家长的反馈，解决他们可能存在的任何疑虑，是学校健康发展的关键。

在佛山霍利斯，我们采用多种方式与家长沟通，如直接发邮件、发微信、定期举办研讨会、讲座和家长茶话会等，这些都是每周一次的安排。来自特定年级组的家长可以与校长和学术团队的其他成员会面，讨论他们孩子的进步，讨论IGCSE课程选择等热门话题，认识他们年级组的家长，或者了解学校的课程以及孩子如何适应学校生活。

LEHF Teachers

The quality, experience and commitment of your teacher is the single most important factor in the academic success of any student. We are proud to introduce our colleagues, all of whom are experienced, inspirational and proven in teaching the British curriculum.

Our native-English speaking teaching staff are recruited from leading schools around the world, and bring maturity and dynamism to the classroom. Most hold Masters or PhDs in Education and have, 90 % of whom are British, on average, 15+ years teaching experience.

With smaller class sizes, our students benefit from a highly individualised teaching approach, where each teacher has a firm knowledge of his or her student’s strengths and challenges. Our teachers have the support and resources they need to personalise their teaching to ensure that each student achieves their personal best.

6

British Curriculum

At LEH Foshan all our teaching, pastoral care and extra-curricular activities are designed to ensure that students are equipped with the skills, knowledge and attributes required for life in the 21st century.

We believe in giving students an education where excellent exam results are a by-product of that education, rather than being the central focus. We look for students with an intellectual curiosity and a love of learning which we aim to foster throughout their time at LEH. We realise that motivating students comes from the appropriate level of challenge being given in their learning.

Our role as educators is to develop a lifelong love of learning. As a result, teachers aim to develop the students" ownership of their own learning. Students are encouraged to discovers things for themselves, rather than simply being “spoon fed” to pass an examination. Our aim is to create a learning environment in all classes where students are ready to respond to questions even when they do not know the answer and are prepared to take risks in their learning.

AGES: 6 – 10 (YEAR 2 – 6, Prep School)

In the Prep School, the curriculum offers our students a wide range of learning experiences taught by our class teachers in English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, STEM, Computer Science and PSHE. In the Prep School, Class Teachers play a key role in supporting each student and closely monitor academic, personal and social development.

Each Class teacher is supported by teaching assistants, not only in classroom teaching but also in pastoral guidance. There are also subjects of Spanish, Chinese, Art, Music, Drama, Design and Technology, and Sports delivered by specialist teachers to enhance the students’ learning opportunities.

In the Prep School, all lessons will be conducted in English (except Chinese and foreign language lessons). Small-size classes ensure that each teacher can gain a firm knowledge of his or her student’s strengths and challenges and design highly individual learning plans for them. Students will be able to take advantage from the plan and improve their English skills for future study.

Students will also benefit from the English Language Learning (ELL) Programme carefully designed by the Headteacher Mrs Jane Arden and with the support from the in-house English Language Acquisition team this helps develop their holistic language skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening. This allows them to fully engage in the school’s British Curriculum.

AGES: 11 - 13 (YEAR 7 - 9， Key Stage 3)

Students joining the school at age 11 will follow an engaging and rigorous curriculum that will enable them to develop their own academic interests while providing a broad foundation on which to build. All students from age 11-13 will study English, Mandarin, Mathematics and Science (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) alongside Humanities (Geography and History) and Technical / Creative Arts (Fine Art, Computing, Drama, Music and Technology). A programme of Personal, Health and Social Education, Physical Education and Tutor Periods will ensure students develop an understanding of health and wellbeing alongside their academic studies.

AGES: 14 - 15 (YEAR 10 - 11，IGCSE /Pre-A Level)

IGCSEs Students from age 14 - 15 will follow a 2-year programme leading to IGCSE qualifications. A compulsory core of English, Mandarin, Mathematics and Science will be complemented by 3 or 4 option choices. Students joining at 15 years old may choose a pre-A Level year of intensive English language preparation.

In addition, they will have a non-examined core programme of Physical Education, Personal, Health and Social Education and Critical Thinking.

The compulsory core of Physical Education, Personal, Health and Social Education and Critical Thinking will enhance a programme of 3 or 4 A Level subjects.

Daily Extra-Curricular Activities

ECAs at LEH Foshan is mandatory as we believe developing an active, healthy lifestyle is key to supporting physical, social and emotional health and wellbeing. We offer ECAs 2 sessions per day, from Monday to Friday including a wide range of activities and we change them termly.

The overarching ethos of the ECA programme at LEH is to support students to develop into young adults that have the confidence and skills to further pursue activities they enjoy as part of an active, healthy lifestyle. It is also designed to encourage confidence, independence, initiative, creativity, and leadership and provide regular opportunities for individual and team performance.

Moreover, the ECA programme can help students reach far beyond the campus. The interests and passions that students develop through these activities will enable them to stand out when they apply to university. ECAs also allows students to develop transferable skills, earn career experience and build their resume, increasing student’s career prospects.

State-of-the-Art Facilities

Designed in collaboration with the school founders, Local Implementation Authority and the appointed Local Design Institute, the concept design of our architects from Scott Brownrigg captures the essence of LEH UK - providing a green, sustainable urban campus, highly engaging learning and living spaces supporting a wide range of academic, sporting and artistic endeavours.

Boarding at LEHF

Home Awayfrom Home

LEH International School Foshan aims to provide a home from home, high-quality boarding experience within a safe, secure, caring, happy and comfortable environment in a positive, trusting and encouraging atmosphere. To promote the development of good character and confidence through the promotion and a healthy balanced lifestyle whilst providing guidance and support enabling students to thrive academically, socially, morally and culturally - to reach their full potential/ to become leaders of the future/ to leave prepared for an everchanging world/ to leave as responsible young adults destined for greatness.

Boarding System

Termly Boarding

Students who board full-time benefit not only from the usual supervised study schedule and weekday activities, but they can also enjoy a selection of weekend opportunities including learning new skills, trips out and many, many more.

Weekly Boarding

Weekly boarding offers our students the opportunity to enjoy boarding life, additional time for evening school and evening events. This option is ideal for those students with a longer commute into school.

Flexi Boarding

Flexi boarding offers students and parents the opportunity of boarding for just a few nights per week or for a week or two each month. This option is ideal if parents travel regularly or for a taste of boarding life at LEH Foshan.

Support Boarding

This option is for ad-hoc boarding, for parents if they are needed to go away on business or international travel. This is a great opportunity for students to sample life as a boarder.

A Professional Boarding Team

Mr Steve Banks

Head of Boarding

Mr Steven Banks, besides his roles as Head of Geography, is also the Head of Boarding at LEH Foshan. He was once the Pastoral and Safeguarding Leader and Assistant Headteacher for 13 years in a UK boarding school and his previous senior leadership roles have provided him with whole school responsibilities including pastoral provision. Over recent years, he had worked in a well-established and successful boarding school in Thailand as Head of Geography and the key worker within the boarding school community.

Mr David Richards

House Parent

Mr Richards has worked previously within international boarding houses; he is looking forward to developing team spirit within the boarding houses.

Mrs Carolyn Jones

House Parent

Mrs Jones is currently completing her Leadership in Boarding certificate with the Boarding School Association, having worked in other international boarding schools, she is looking forward to working at LEH Foshan and helping students on their journey to independence.

Unique Boarding Life

01/ Beyond the Classroom

Boarding students at LEH Foshan develop a new level of independence, resilience and confidence. As well as benefiting from a full timetable of academic subjects, they also enjoy a strong programme of extra-curricular activities and teacher-supervised Evening School (time in the evening for home learning).

02/ Contemporary Facilities

When students join LEH Foshan, they will share an en suite room with students of the same age. The modern design of the rooms will ensure they have privacy, space to work individually or collaboratively while providing the support and facilities to ensure the students’ need only focus upon their learning.

03/ House System

It is almost impossible to talk about British school without mentioning House system. As one of the most distinguished elements of British schools, the Houses are the subunits of the school, and each student is allocated to one House at the moment of enrolment. A primary purpose of the House System is to provide pastoral care and foster community feeling while the secondary feature is to instil healthy competitions to encourage teamwork and cooperation.

At LEH Foshan, the 4 Houses are split across four distinct buildings within the Campus. The House building provides the living accommodation for boarding students and a range of study and social facilities for both day and boarding students.

The House system is first and foremost inclusive of all learning types and interests. We have sporting, artistic and cross-curricular events. This level of competition can have numerous academic benefits as well as social-emotional. Those who feel comfortable and supported enough to participate in House events are more likely to feel able to commit themselves fully to academia.

Parent-School Communication

A school is a community, and therefore functions best when there is a strong relationship between the family and the school. Parents might not understand everything that happens on a daily basis in a school but if they feel they can ask questions and are listened to, positive relationships are established which support the students’ education. When the school and parents demonstrate our core values, it highlights to the students that their parents and teachers are trusted role models.

Listen to parents’ feedback and address any concerns they might have is key to a school healthy development.

At LEHF, we use a variety of methods to communicate with parents such as direct mails, WeChat posts, regular seminars, workshops and Coffee Afternoons; these are weekly session where parents from a specific year group can meet with the Headteacher and other members of the academic team to discuss their child’s progress and discuss prevalent topics such as IGCSE choices, get to know parents from their year group, or simply learn more about the school programmes and how a child is settling into life at LEHF.
