Looking for something different in education?

A growing number of parents and teachers are looking for new ways to educate children - ways that will inspire, motivate and involve each and every child. Concerns about mainstream schooling - the requirement on schools to teach the National Curriculum, the emphasis on testing and the continuing existence of large classes - are leading many to question whether there might be better ways to prepare children for life in contemporary society. Furthermore, questions about the extent to which education is equipping children to play their part in creating a fairer and more environmentally sustainable world, are increasingly being asked. Such concerns are fuelling demand for approaches to learning which are more relevant to children's lives, taking account of their educational and developmental needs. This website will help you find information about different education alternatives in the UK.
