Welcome to BEK Lodge and Lodge Garden!

I am excited to lead such a warm, welcoming community with eight years of educational experience and four years of leadership in international school settings, ready to support both of our wonderful locations.

At BEK Lodge Garden, we have a child-centred approach for our pre-nursery and nursery students. Drawing on my educational background in Applied Linguistics and a Masters in Teaching, I am deeply committed to nurturing each child's unique qualities in their early years. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum alongside enquiry-based learning in a free-flow environment to ensure our children access all curriculum areas daily and experience true holistic growth.

BEK Lodge supports the older years, covering Reception upwards. I am dedicated to ensuring a seamless transition across the different year groups at BEK. Through my expertise in curriculum development and teacher training, I work closely with our dedicated team of qualified staff to ensure excellent opportunities for child-centred, active learning and the highest standards of pastoral care.

Throughout their learning journey at Lodge and Lodge Garden, we focus on the Personal, Social, and Emotional Development (PSED) of all of our children. This aligns perfectly with my own educational philosophy: once students feel safe, secure, and supported, they are ready to learn, build character, and explore their curiosity confidently.

I am committed to building strong partnerships between our students, staff, and families across both locations. I am thrilled to welcome you and your family to our vibrant BEK community, and I look forward to leading with integrity and vision as we inspire every learner to reach their fullest potential.

I am incredibly proud to introduce myself as the new Head, and can't wait to meet you all very soon.

Mrs Jennifer Salerno
Head of BEK Lodge
