“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”

Benjamin Franklin

Malvern Way is a learning community and as such, our approach to teaching is constantly adapting in the light of research and our own monitoring within school. We understand that while excellent teaching leads to learning, learning does not only happen as a result of teaching. Our curriculum meets the expectations of the National Curriculum and Early Years framework but in making our school unique, there is a strong focus on Learning Outside The Classroom, the arts and responding to the children’s ideas and interests to shape the curriculum.

Our vast and varied outdoor environment provides them with an abundance of opportunities to learn from first-hand experience from our fire pit to pond dipping and looking after our chickens.
