Upon arrival, children will carry out their routine tasks to develop self-management skills: taking off their shoes and placing them on the dedicated shelf, taking out their snack box, water bottle and diapers, and putting their backpack away.
In our Pre-Kindergarten programme, we prioritise the holistic development of each child by promoting health and nurturing emotional wellbeing. We create a safe environment where children are protected from harm, allowing them to explore, learn, and grow with confidence. This foundation supports their overall development and prepares them for future success.
In our Pre-Kindergarten programme, we emphasise the importance of belonging by establishing strong connections with families and the broader community. Children develop a sense of security through familiar routines and customs, while learning the limits and boundaries of acceptable behaviour. This foundation helps them feel valued and confident in their environment.
In our Pre-Kindergarten programme, we emphasise contribution by ensuring equitable learning opportunities for all children. We foster an environment where they treat others fairly, include peers in play, and affirm each child's individuality. Through collaborative learning experiences, children are encouraged to learn alongside one another, building essential social skills and relationships.
In our Pre-Kindergarten programme, we prioritise communication by helping children develop essential non-verbal and verbal skills for various purposes. They explore stories and symbols from their own and other cultures, fostering appreciation and understanding. Additionally, we encourage creativity and self-expression, providing diverse opportunities for children to communicate their thoughts and feelings.
In our Pre-Kindergarten programme, we emphasise exploration by valuing play as an essential part of meaningful learning. We recognise the significance of spontaneous play, allowing children to gain confidence and control over their bodies. Through active exploration, they develop thinking and reasoning strategies, creating working theories to understand the natural, social, physical, and material worlds.
Upon arrival, children will carry out their routine tasks to develop self-management skills: taking off their shoes and placing them on the dedicated shelf, taking out their snack box, water bottle and diapers, and putting their backpack away.
The children will have a choice to select from a variety of learning engagements available throughout their classroom. Teachers and EAs will guide and support children to explore various activities and to encourage children to integrate different learning experiences. Children may also choose to socialise with their friends in the role play area or library corner. Classroom play exploration is a fantastic way to promote warm and genuine serve-and-return interactions and nurture strong relationships between children and their educators.
Circle time is a key moment for children to build a sense of belonging and contribution to their classroom community. From looking at the register, to singing songs, or sharing a story, students learn to be an active member of their class. Adults will work and learn collaboratively with the children through active listening, discussion and reflection.
The sensory area invites children to explore various visual, tactile, auditory, taste and olfactory provocations. These sessions not only develop fine and gross motor skills, but also increases attention and focus, supports emotional regulation, and promotes cognitive development through problem-solving, exploration and experimentation.
Movement time is a key opportunity to work on large body movements and develop overall body strength, coordination and flexibility, all the while promoting social interactions and cognitive growth. Movement time includes a mix of free play and guided activities such as cooperation games, obstacle courses, and fine motor activities such as throwing and grasping.
The final circle time is dedicated to Mandarin activities twice a week, and is also a key moment to reflect on the day, their learning, and to bring closure to the session.
✨ Celebration of Learning ✨
We want to take a moment to applaud our Pre-K children for expressing their feelings and imaginations during our recent Three-Way Conferences. This was a wonderful opportunity for our children to lead their own learning and proudly show their parents around their learning space to wrap up their very first learning journey. It was an absolute pleasure to see how confident and proud they were of every achievement, and we love seeing the new aspirations growing within each child.
We are so incredibly proud of you all, and we wish you the absolute best as you flourish in your next learning journey. 🌟🌱

🌾❤️ Little Red Hen Drama 🌾❤️
How we express ourselves matters, especially in the early years! 🌟 Drama is a powerful form of self-expression, and we have just started our drama exploration with so much excitement.🎭
The children began with reading a story together, then choosing their roles, putting on costumes, and acting out their favorite characters. Through play-acting, they develop confidence, communication skills, and creativity while learning to listen, take turns, and work as a team. They had a blast from start to finish and it was truly a fun way to learn and grow! 💛✨

🧘♀️✨ Yoga in the early years is more than just stretching, it supports growing kids in so many ways, including building body awareness, developing coordination and balance, and strengthening muscles and flexibility in a fun, age-appropriate way. Through gentle movement and mindful breathing, children begin to understand how to regulate their emotions, transition from busy energy to calm, and practice patience and self-control.
They also enjoy learning playful, kid-friendly poses, like ticking like a clock, crawling like a cat, and flying like a butterfly, which helps them follow directions, improve motor skills, and gain confidence as they try something new.

Our PreK artists at ESF Explore are taking their creativity from flat paper to soft fabric, and the learning has never been richer.
Why fabric?
- Deepens sensory exploration- different texture, different resistance
- Strengthens fine motor control- brushes and fabric mean more intentional marks
- Encourages sustainability- reusing fabric creates less waste
- Turns art into something usable- a banner, a bag, a keepsake
Painting on fabric isn`t just different. It`s a small shift that unlocks big thinking.

Every day is Earth Day at ESF Explore PreK.
We don`t wait for one special day to celebrate our planet. Because for our little learners, caring for the Earth is part of every single day.
Through small, meaningful actions, our children are learning that they have the power to make a big difference:
Looking after plants- watering, watching, and wondering as things grow.
Recycling- sorting materials and understanding that waste can become something new.
Taking care of nature- noticing the bugs, the leaves, the birds, and treating them all with kindness.
No big speeches. No one-day events. Just daily habits rooted in respect for our world.
Because when you teach a child to care for the Earth every day, you`re not just celebrating a special day. You`re raising a generation who will protect our planet naturally, lovingly, and without being asked.
It’s never too early to start. And at ESF Explore PreK, we never stop.

What an incredible, action-packed week of growth and giggles in our Pre-K classroom as we celebrated the magic of spring!
We kicked off our learning journey with "egg-cellent" sensory bins that helped us practice color sorting, counting, and fine motor skills, followed by creative bunny-ear crafting sessions where every student let their imagination run wild. We also embraced the beautiful weather with a nature-inspired spring scavenger hunt to observe new buds and bugs, and we wrapped up the week with a high-energy "bunny hop" obstacle course that kept everyone active and laughing. It has been such a joy to watch these little learners explore, create, and discover the wonders of the season together through so much hands-on fun!

Every day is Earth Day at ESF Explore PreK.
We don`t wait for one special day to celebrate our planet. Because for our little learners, caring for the Earth is part of every single day.
Through small, meaningful actions, our children are learning that they have the power to make a big difference:
Looking after plants- watering, watching, and wondering as things grow.
Recycling- sorting materials and understanding that waste can become something new.
Taking care of nature- noticing the bugs, the leaves, the birds, and treating them all with kindness.
No big speeches. No one-day events. Just daily habits rooted in respect for our world.
Because when you teach a child to care for the Earth every day, you`re not just celebrating a special day. You`re raising a generation who will protect our planet naturally, lovingly, and without being asked.
It’s never too early to start. And at ESF Explore PreK, we never stop.

Taking care of nature- noticing the bugs, the leaves, the birds, and treating them all with kindness.
No big speeches. No one-day events. Just daily habits rooted in respect for our world.
Because when you teach a child to care for the Earth every day, you`re not just celebrating a special day. You`re raising a generation who will protect our planet naturally, lovingly, and without being asked.
It’s never too early to start. And at ESF Explore PreK, we never stop.

What an incredible, action-packed week of growth and giggles in our Pre-K classroom as we celebrated the magic of spring!
We kicked off our learning journey with "egg-cellent" sensory bins that helped us practice color sorting, counting, and fine motor skills, followed by creative bunny-ear crafting sessions where every student let their imagination run wild. We also embraced the beautiful weather with a nature-inspired spring scavenger hunt to observe new buds and bugs, and we wrapped up the week with a high-energy "bunny hop" obstacle course that kept everyone active and laughing. It has been such a joy to watch these little learners explore, create, and discover the wonders of the season together through so much hands-on fun!

Bespoke curriculum. All secondary-aged students access accredited ASDAN courses.
Everything we do at ESF Jockey Club Sarah Roe School is based on an understanding that every child is unique, with their own skills and passions. We offer our students some wonderful facilities to keep them happy, engaged and always learning. Our bespoke curriculum puts our students at the centre.
We reach our goals alongside our students through personalised, progressive and challenging lessons that offer students multiple opportunities for repeated, frequent experiences. Parents are an important facet of this team, since nobody knows your child better than you. Our teachers and therapists work with you to help establish suitable and practical goals for each student and how to support this learning at home. By helping each child to develop their own interests and personality, we help them to be the best they can be.

ESF’s all-through education, K1 to Year 13, enables a seamless transition from kindergarten to primary and from Year 6 to secondary. The close links our primary schools have with their associated secondary schools play an important role in delivering a positive experience and a good start to the year, for our Year 7 students.
ESF will process and allocate according to an ‘associated secondary school’ for Year 7 placement. Below are the associated secondary schools for each primary school.
| ESF primary school | Allocated ESF secondary school |
|---|---|
| Bradbury School | South Island School |
| Quarry Bay School | South Island School |
| Glenealy School | Island School |
| Peak School | Island School |
| Kennedy School | West Island School |
| Beacon Hill School | Island School |
| Kowloon Junior School | King George V School |
| Clearwater Bay School | King George V School |
| Sha Tin Junior School | Sha Tin College |
The Year 7 transition information will be sent to parents via email with details to login and access the form.
All Year 6 students enrolled in an ESF primary school by 1 December are guaranteed a place in an ESF secondary school on completion of Year 6.
For Year 6 students in Learning Support (LS): the child’s placement will be managed and allocated through a different process that takes account of the availability of Year 7 LS placements across all secondary schools. The student’s Year 7 placement will be confirmed by the end of November.
A student joining Year 6 from 1 December onwards can not be guaranteed a secondary school place at their corresponding ‘associated secondary school’ but offered a Year 7 place at an alternative secondary school where there is availability.
The guarantee of Year 7 place is with the corresponding secondary sections. Transfer requests to an ESF secondary school may be considered based on availability and date of written request starting from 1 September to your school’s admissions office. There is no guarantee of transfer to Year 7 in an ESF secondary school.
Please note transfer between a private independent school and an ESF school and vice versa will mean payment of deposit and capital/building levy to take up the school place.
Please note the following key dates:
| First two weeks of September | Parents complete the Year 7 transfer form |
| End November | Year 7 offer letters are sent via email from ESF Centre |
| Beginning of December | Deadline to confirm places the Year 7 places offered. ESF primary students are requested to pay the deposit to confirm the place. |
Students who are attending ESF kindergartens will complete the Year 1 transition process. Information from ESF kindergartens will support the transition process.
Students in ESF kindergartens identified as needing additional learning support may be recommended to apply through the Admission and Review Process. This is a separate application process managed centrally at ESF Centre. This process also applies to all students applying from outside ESF. There are limited resources for placement within Learning Support and Jockey Club Sarah Roe School. Not all students going through the Admission and Review Process may be placed, as the demand is often greater than the number of places available.
The Year 1 transition information will be sent to parents via email with details to login and access the form.
All K2 students enrolled in an ESF kindergarten before 1 December are guaranteed a place in an ESF primary school on completion of K2.
A new student joining K2 on or after Year 1 offers to go out cannot be guaranteed a primary school place but will be given high priority on the waitlist for a Year 1 place.
Allocation for primary school is based on priority order plus EDB requirements (when necessary), and computer-generated random numbers. K2 children may be directed to an alternative primary school if there is an oversubscription at their first preference school. There is no guarantee of the school of first preference. All ESF primary school offers are accepted with a two-year commitment before any transfer request, regardless of residential address.
Please note the following key dates:
| First two weeks of September | Parents complete the Year 1 transfer form |
| End November | Year 1 offer letters are sent via email from ESF Centre |
| Beginning of December | Deadline to confirm places the Year 1 places offered. ESF kindergarten students are requested to pay the deposit to confirm the place |
The ESF Levels of Adjustment (LOA) provide a framework for identifying and documenting the adjustments and accommodations for students who require support for learning.
ESF uses LOA 1 to 6 to describe the amount and type of support a student requires in order to access the curriculum. The LOA also reflects the level of provision required.
Outlined below are the most common placements for students with LOA 1 to 6. Occasionally, placements may differ depending on the profile of the individual student.
Additional, ongoing class-based teaching and learning adjustments led by the class or subject teacher, in liaison with the IN department and/or short-term small group or individual intervention in 1 or 2 dimensions of schooling.
Regular, individualised teaching and learning adjustments of objectives, outcomes, materials or equipment, in multiple dimensions of schooling, as a result of class-based assessments and teacher judgement.
A combination of additional small group support, for minimum 2 cycles of intervention, in multiple areas. The student has an IEP, there is an ongoing liaison between class/subject teachers and the IN department, and there is regular contact with parents. These students often sit well below age-related expectations in one of the dimensions of schooling.
Daily, individualised teaching and learning adjustments of objectives, outcomes, materials or equipment.
Access to daily push-in support in mainstream lessons and pull-out support focusing on skill development, concept reinforcement, and functional life skills teaching. Access to alternative curriculums at the secondary level.
Continuous, individualised support. Systematic interventions and highly individualised teaching programmes through multidisciplinary approaches with a high staff-to-student ratio.
Many students who require less extensive, class-based teaching and learning adjustments are catered for within mainstream classes in all kindergartens and schools.
Students who require more extensive, daily teaching and learning adjustments are catered for within learning support (LS) within ESF primary schools and secondary schools.
Entry to this level of provision is through a central process called the Admissions and Review Process, not through the local school.
Students who require the most extensive teaching and learning adjustments are catered for within the Jockey Club Sarah Roe School (JCSRS).
JCSRS has a bespoke curriculum that is designed to be broad and balanced to meet the needs of our diverse learners. The curriculum is taught through subjects but has significant elements of project based learning that enhance transdisciplinary application of knowledge and skills.
The JCSRS curriculum is divided into six pathways, each with its own distinct learning approach and priorities. The pathways are determined by age and also by the needs of students.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) is a course designed for students aged 16 to 19. Students can choose to follow either the full IB Diploma Programme or their choice of individual IB Diploma courses. Widely recognised as the best possible preparation for study at university, the IB DP builds research skills, promotes personal responsibility and encourages independent learning.
The full IB DP core comprises six subjects and the following key components:
Students can choose one subject from each of the groups below, three at Higher Level (HL) and three at Standard Level (SL).
Our personalised pathways allow students to focus on creative projects and inquiries and reflect on their achievements. Students whose strengths are in applied learning are often practical and goal-oriented. Courses are routed in practical and real-world situations and are made relevant to the world of work. The courses are modular with no external examination element.
ESF schools currently provide Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC ) courses which are recognised by many universities worldwide. These courses can be studied alongside other subjects and provide a varied learning experience for students.
A number of ESF schools are also developing the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme (IBCP) to offer opportunities for those students who have a particular career path in mind. The IBCP allows students to specialise and dedicate themselves to a career path that they know they want to pursue. The IBCP encompasses some elements of the IB Diploma Programme within its structure. It also encompasses the IB’s educational philosophy and mission.
The Middle Years Programme (MYP) prepares students to become active, caring, lifelong learners who demonstrate respect for themselves and others and have the capacity to participate in the world around them. Learning focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in and beyond the classroom and encourages students to be critical, creative and reflective thinkers. The MYP is a framework on which to hang a challenging and rigorous curriculum, which provides authentic, real-world connections to the learning in the classroom.
The curriculum consists of 8 subject groups integrated through 6 interactive areas providing global contexts for learning.
Our MYP centres around and is underpinned by the following five key components:
As a further means of developing autonomous, self-directed learners, students are given the opportunity to demonstrate their learning through completing a project, which encourages reflection on their learning and outcomes of their work. This is a long-term project, which is embedded within a global context and generates a synthesis of creative and critical thinking and approaches to learning through an in-depth investigation.
MYP Projects
Students who complete the MYP in Year 9 or Year 10 complete the community project, enabling them to develop their commitment to service as action within the community. All students who complete the MYP in Year 11 complete the personal project.
The IGCSE is a two year course of study with an externally set syllabus with assessment criteria for Years 10 to 11. The five ESF secondary schools design courses to meet these criteria. This includes a range of language courses available in foreign, second and first languages. The examinations are externally set which is similar to the IB Diploma final examination period. Grades are awarded with students typically taking between seven to ten subjects.
Students will also be able to access a range of co-curricular courses in the creative, community service and physical domains. Some of these activities have qualifications associated with them.
International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) is an international, trans-disciplinary programme designed to foster the development of the whole child, not just in the classroom but also through other means of learning. The PYP focuses on the total growth of the developing child, encompassing academic, social, physical, emotional and cultural needs.
We provide a wide range of curricular and co-curricular programmes and opportunities. The curriculum is expressed in three interrelated ways:
Our approach to learning is through play based theory. Across five key areas of enquiry; Wellbeing, Belonging, Communication, Contribution, and Exploration, each toddler’s voice will be heard, their progress celebrated, and their language and knowledge nourished. Our curriculum centres on the premise that everything that occurs with or for the child is curriculum. It is inquiry based and concept driven. It is designed to be stimulating yet flexible to provide for the children’s desire to explore and investigate.
