We are aware that there are a large number of home educating families in the area and we are delighted to be able to support those families at our unique Montessori tuition centre. We are committed to treating each child as an individual and to supporting their learning at their own pace.
The content of the National Curriculum and methods of assessment, the pressure placed on our children at such a young age and the teaching to test are all features of an outdated system that is affecting the mental health of many children and one which more and more families are opting out of at Primary level.

Good to know
The subjects that we have chosen to cover are those that many parents might not be so keen to teach, i.e. language and maths.
The subjects that we have chosen not to cover are all optional and easier for you to cover at home, through visits or out of school clubs should you wish to do so. Remember that educating your child is not limited to 9-3 Monday to Friday. Some of a child’s education may naturally fall at the weekend or in the evenings and, as such, there is scope for flexibility during the ‘school day’.
Special Educational Needs
We have lots of experience of responding to a wide variety of special educational needs on a day to day basis. If your child does require additional support please do come and see us so that we can discuss whether or not we would be able to meet their needs.
