ARCHIVED - King’s College Murcia provides ongoing online education to over 500 pupils despite the coronavirus lockdown
The rapid response of the school has enabled students to attend virtual classes online in the usual school timetable
King's College Murcia, a member of the Inspired Education Group, responded immediately to the temporary closure of schools in the Region on 16th March by implementing an unprecedented online learning programme. The experience gained by the group's schools in Italy has facilitated the launch of a digital platform that includes virtual classes, video tutorials and direct communication systems with teachers.
The 519 students of King's College Murcia have been able to continue their lessons as the school delivers the curriculum to their students through an online programme during regular school hours, a llowing them to "attend" virtual classes and interact directly with their teachers.
This is possible thanks to the impressive online education system created by Inspired, which has already proven to be successful in a number of schools in 10 countries around the world, where almost 25,000 students are currently following this learning platform.
This virtual system has been tailored to meet the specific needs of each school in order to keep delivering the curriculum and provide effective communications between parents, teachers and students. The online programme, launched as a result of the hard work of a team during a period of three weeks, includes virtual lessons, video tutorials, daily exercises and group discussions, and is provided during regular school hours from Monday to Friday, in all educational stages. Students have access to the same online learning platforms that they are already familiar with, hence it is easier for them to adapt to the new procedures of online study.
“Despite these difficult times, we will be able to continue offering our students the academic excellence that they benefit from at school, but from home. This is reassuring not only for parents and students, but also for the teaching staff as a whole. We are strongly committed to the education and well-being of our students, which we will still follow up online”, says Stefan Rumistrzewicz, Head of King's College Murcia.
Additionally, Inspired constantly monitor and review the system with the support of their schools' teaching staff in order to ensure the adequate functionality and stability of the programs, both technically and academically.
“The impressive, efficient and supportive way that we have faced this difficult situation is definitely a testament to the efforts made by the whole school community. On the one hand, locally, our teachers, staff, families and students have cooperated admirably. On the other hand, being part of an international education group has provided us with the resources and expertise we needed to achieve our goal”, explains Elena Benito, COO Europe and Managing Director for Spain of Inspired group.
Over 50 years delivering British education with British teachers and the English curriculum
For the last 50 years the network of British schools which make up King’s College have been providing world-class opportunities for children in Spain and other countries, helping various of them to go on to study at the best British, Spanish, European and North American universities.
Past students have completed degree courses at Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, Harvard, the London School of Economics, Manchester and St Andrews, learning along the way that getting a good degree from a top university and being bilingual in two of the world’s most important languages opens up a huge range of career and other opportunities.
Academic achievement is far from being the only aim in your child’s education, but in the long term there is little doubt that investing in their education is the best way to ensure their future in a fast-changing world.
All of the King’s College British schools are staffed by British teachers with expertise in and a passion for their subjects, delivering the English National Curriculum with its focus on developing thoughtful and knowledgeable young people.
King’s College know from experience that the success of a school depends in the long term on recruiting teachers with the skills and experience to turn the curriculum into dynamic lessons that ignite the imagination of their pupils: in this way your child develops real knowledge and understanding as well as the core skills that will serve them well in the future.
All King’s College schools, including the three in the Costa Cálida and the Costa Blanca, provide a very British education. Classes are taught in English and offer child-centred, exploratory learning: in other words, we encourage your child to think, to question and to explore new ideas.
All learning at King’s College is based upon these core skills rather than simply a list of memorised facts. Of course, no promises can be made that your child will go on to a top university, but your son or daughter will be given the best possible chance to reach their full potential. Each child is treated as an individual as every effort is made to give them the best start in their life.
The success of the King’s College British Schools is based on consistently excellent academic results. Last year the school in Madrid achieved a pass rate for A levels of 97 per cent, most of the pupils receiving A or B grades, while nearly 98 per cent passed AS Levels and 93.5 per cent passed in the IGCSEs.
Of the 164 offers received from universities ranked in the top 50 in the UK, 81 offers were from universities ranked in the top 20 and 38 from universities in the top 10.
In short, the aim at the King’s College British Schools in Spain is not merely to ensure that pupils are fully bilingual in English and Spanish. It is also to create open-minded, creative and dynamic individuals, helping children to learn from first-hand experiences as well as textbooks and encouraging them to be creative in their thinking as well as working hard every day.
Education at the King’s College British Schools is divided into six stages:
Ages 2 – 5 (Pre-Nursery to Reception): Play to Learn
Young children learn through exploration. At this age everything they do, from kicking a ball, building with blocks and painting, to singing, is done in English as they learn to understand their environment. Sometimes it gets messy, but it’s always rewarding and develops them socially, mentally and physically!
Ages 5 – 7 (School years 1 – 2): Exploration and evaluation
A more structured approach to the day as children start learning how to read, write and count in English. Children to explore and play, but they are able to describe their discoveries in words and numbers.
Ages 7 – 11 (School years 3 – 6): Communicate and articulate!
Children are naturally curious and in Junior School we encourage them to learn about things that interest them while consolidating their numeracy and literacy. They apply these basic skills to other subject areas such as Science, Art and History.
Ages 11 – 16 (School years 7 – 11): Interrogate and debate
As children grow they think more critically, learning how to investigate, test and think rationally. Classes are more focused on formal subject-based learning as they prepare to take 9 or 10 IGCSE exams at the end of this stage.
Ages 16 – 18 (School years 12 – 13): Think and act
The final two years at school mark the beginning of adulthood. Pupils make choices and work hard during these years that prepare them for university and/or the start of their careers. Once pupils have finished their IGCSEs they choose three or four A Level exams, qualifications which are accepted by universities around the world.
Age 18+ (University and beyond)
Nearly all King’s pupils go on to university, mostly in the UK and Spain. Academic success helps guarantee a good career but we also want children who have been to King’s College to become good parents, partners and friends.
