About Us
Our Team
We’re a small team of dedicated primary school teachers with over 30 years of combined experience in a range of schools, independent and state. Driven by our belief that pastoral care is key to a child’s ability to thrive, we bring both academic and emotional support to every child we work with. In addition to being qualified primary school teachers, our qualifications also cover Forest School pedagogy, neurodiversity coaching and holistic family coaching.
​
Our Approach
Every child deserves personalised care. Through careful assessment and collaboration with families, we create tailored learning plans that foster academic progress and emotional well-being, building a strong foundation for each child’s future.
​
Our Philosophy
Guided by the principle that "it takes a village to raise a child," we are committed to providing holistic support and coaching beyond the classroom. Our approach blends academic guidance with a focus on personal growth, helping children develop resilience, confidence, and a love for learning.
