Curriculum

How your child learns, day to day

Six areas of the Montessori curriculum, woven through hands-on activity rather than worksheets — plus a weekly rhythm of clubs that gets everyone moving, singing and exploring outdoors.

01

Practical life

Everyday exercises with familiar objects that build coordination, concentration and independence — and along the way, care for oneself, others and the environment.

02

Sensorial education

Materials that refine colour, sound, shape, size and texture — organising a child's impressions of the world much as an alphabet organises language.

03

Reading & vocabulary

Phonetic sounds first, building steadily to words and sentences, alongside weekly documentaries that open up general knowledge and the wider world.

04

Mathematics

Hands-on, concrete materials build a genuine feel for number, shape and pattern before introducing addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

05

Art & craft

Free creative expression that builds self-esteem, patience and fine motor coordination — valued as much as any academic subject.

06

Cultural subjects

An introduction to botany, zoology, chemistry, physics, geology and astronomy, nurturing a lifelong respect and curiosity for the natural world.

Every week

Clubs & activities

A rhythm of movement, music and outdoor time that rounds out the classroom learning.

Music & dance

Weekly singing, instruments and rhythm, plus Zumba-based movement and preparation for cultural festivals.

Football & yoga

Ball skills and coordination with a football coach, and calming stretches and mindfulness with our yoga teacher.

Outdoor club

Regular trips by school van to open and forest areas, connecting children with the beauty of nature.

Cookery club

Fortnightly cooking sessions that build healthy food habits and bring together more skills than almost any other activity.
