Teaching method

Using the methods of teaching developed by Maria Montessori, our aim is to provide purposeful and stimulating early childhood activities, which enhance each child's growth and development. We believe that the early years are the most important time for exploration and discovery; that children need opportunities to create, play, make friends and learn whilst having fun. Norfolk Lodge offers each child an atmosphere of warmth, understanding and a place to develop, both as an individual and as part of a group.

Special Educational Needs

Norfolk Lodge is not a specialist school for children with Special Educational Needs. Where-ever possible we will try to include children with Special Educational Needs in our main stream classes (see the school's Special Educational Needs policy for more details).
