The changing educational landscape across UK schools leads me to question whether the once proud and envied education system is now in so much trouble that it can no longer compete across international boundaries. How is it that discipline has become such a major issue leading to thousands of exclusions which in turn results in […]
It has been reported that cannabis smoking is a problem in many of our secondary schools in Britain. Parents of teenagers must worry about the other young people their precious children may meet at school and whether they will be influenced by their behaviour and unsavoury habits. In more liberal cities it is fashionable […]
Those children who suffer with illness over the longer term will be able to attend lessons via robots in classrooms while undergoing their hospital treatment under a new government-funded trial.

Having taught children at my private tuition school for over 26 years I have seen and experienced and taught almost all levels of children including those with learning difficulties and physical disabilities. Patience and adapting our teaching methods has been forth and foremost in our teaching environment. When planning for individual progress to be made […]
