What you'll receive

How you'll know, programme by programme.

Each programme sends something back to you.

Weekend Wonders · the note home

"Place toys just out of reach to practise stretching and core strength."

Playschool and Weekend Wonders. After each Weekend Wonders class you get one small thing to try before the next one. On weekdays you see it yourself, in the room.
Individual Learning Plan · one goal

"To successfully use scissors to cut along a line, within a set timeframe."

Every six weeks and shared with you
Preschool. One goal from a learning plan. A daily note comes home in between.
Student Care. We check the homework is done and nothing is skipped. If something isn't finished, the handover note says what's left and why.

How we teach

Do plants need soil? The class found out.

One Preschool class, one Thursday morning, in the order it happened.

How children learn at Agora
Three children look up at two handwritten questions taped to the window. One asks if plants need soil, the other if they need sunlight.
1Explore
Two questions on the window and a tray set up to test each one.
Four preschool children lean over two trays, one of soil and seedlings and one of seeds on cotton wool, comparing them.
2Reflect
They compare the trays and say what they notice.
Two children read their own recording booklets, one pointing at the chart they drew.
3Extend
They write it down in their own marks, then push the question further.
Two children set up a new test together, pressing a seed into a cup of soil.
4Apply
Two of them carry it into a new test, together.

Four steps, in every subject, every week.

The centre

Our centre on Alexandra Road, beside ARC.

What families say

"… Claire and her team gave my son as much time as he needed to feel safe and confident. They met him where he was emotionally, and that made all the difference."

Robert T.Preschool parent

"I have looked for a preschool that actively cares and listens to the child, never leaves a crying child assuming they’ll ‘just be ok’ … Agora is the place!"

AvniPreschool parent

"… my son comes home with all his homework completed, allowing us to enjoy quality family time before he heads to bed."

Dylan E.Student Care parent

"We appreciated the flexibility of the programme as other schools are usually unaccompanied or did not give us the option to enter the premises."

The teachers

The same practice in every room.

Every new teacher completes the Agora Training Plan before running a room. So when your child gets stuck, the adult beside them handles it the same way, whichever teacher it is.

"Instead of asking, ‘What curriculum do we follow?’ we ask, ‘What does this child need next?’"

Claire MichaelHead of Early Years
