Our pedagogy
We’re primary through and through. That’s why we ensure that our curriculum is based on a pedagogy that fully promotes the unique and wonderful nature of the primary child.
Our mission is to preserve and promote the unique and wonderful qualities of the primary child. We resist the movement to introduce secondary teaching techniques within primary education.
Our unique approach and four-stage pedagogy provide a teaching and learning structure across all our curriculum projects. Inspired by the values of the Reggio Emilia Approach ™ and influenced by developments in cognitive research, our four-stage pedagogy will help your school build industrious and inventive learners.

“The sequenced curriculum is packed with thousands of teaching ideas. Many of them link to literacy. We know this is the best way to embed and reinforce knowledge as well as deepen reading and writing skills, particularly in developing vocabulary.”
