Whether you love it or hate it (or just think that you do) there comes a time when everyone has to leave their school. What’s interesting, is how this time has changed over the years in England to make our school leaving age what it is today.
Today, students must continue education or training until the age of 18. However, students have a choice of whether to stay in full-time education or to choose a more vocational route, such as an apprenticeship.

The Education and Skills Act 2008 increased the minimum age at which young people in England can leave learning.
From 2015, young people are required to continue in learning or training until age 18.

The strong rhythm, repetition and reverence of the kindergarten day, week and seasons carries with it its own creative discipline. Activities include, drawing, painting, baking, sewing, weaving, and woodwork, outside expeditions, ring games, fairy tales, singing and eurhythmy.
We create an environment that is safe, warm, loving and beautiful that forms a bridge between home and school. The young child learns through imitation and here we endeavour to provide them with worthy role models.
