Designed for our younger learners, the Blast Off Pods provide a fun and effective ‘boost’ - targeting foundation skills and early learning through play and exploration.

The Orbit Pods support students on their journey through the Primary school phases. They solidify & build upon foundation skills, helping them become confident and well-rounded learners.

Students are supported in their transition between the upper primary & the early secondary phase. This is an exciting part of the journey, where children are discovering themselves as individuals; developing a clearer sense of their own strengths, weaknesses, goals & 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.
