The ‘Blast Off’ Pods are designed to support our youngest learners. They provide a fun and effective ‘boost’ in a supportive, social and happy environment - targeting foundation skills and early learning.

Learners in the ‘Orbit’ Pods have entered their Primary school middle years - a big transition stage. The youngest in these Pods have made the huge jump from lower Primary, and the eldest are preparing for their transition into the upper Primary years.

Learners in the ‘Discovery’ Pods are our eldest students. They have entered their upper primary years - the stage before they eventually move into Secondary education. This is an exciting phase where children discover a lot about themselves as individuals, and develop a clear sense of their own strengths, weaknesses, goals and passions.

A Learning Journey

The Learning Pods are carefully selected learning teams that follow the primary phases.

Children who share similar learning goals are brought together with like-minded peers. With a maximum of 4 students per Pod, learning remains personalised, targeted and engaging.

The Pods are happy & constructive and the students play a role in supporting their team.

Happy

We are caring, kind & sensitive towards ourselves and each other.

Motivated

We always try our best, and we support & encourage our friends when they need it.

Confident

We celebrate achievements together and we take pride in our progress & growth.

Parent FAQs

  • The Learning Pods are designed to support students alongside their schooling and require a minimum commitment of one school term.

    It is best to apply before the beginning of an academic year so that the team begins together. It is at this point that it is most likely you will be allocated space in a Pod.

    If you would like to join a Pod mid-academic year, feel free to get in touch to see whether there is any availability.

  • Small team learning (max 4 children) allows for focused attention, as well as social interaction and support from like-minded peers of the same age. The Pods are carefully organised and selected by a professional in collaboration with parents. A bit like a jigsaw: all pieces are unique and individual, but when the pieces fit together, it works. If you would like private sessions - take a look at our personalised learning programme.

    Some students start with personalised learning sessions and join a Pod later.

  • No. Sometimes Pods are designed for children who need a higher level of challenge. Others are to help children stay on-track with age-related expectations. This is why Pods need to be carefully organised since all children (and parents) must have the same goals and expectations in order for them to function effectively.

  • Generally the Pods are designed as a longer-term programme. A ‘journey’ which happens alongside conventional schooling. The minimum commitment is one academic term. However, most parents choose to extend the Pods for the full academic year and all current Pods will continue into the next phase.
