We believe that environmental and exponential technological developments have highlighted the need to instil an education that develops practical 21st century skills in Robotics, coding, problem solving and creativity that will help develop a young children to mould the future. We believe that the current curriculum is in need of revitalisation and recalibration. Central to 21st century learning is STEM and STEAM. The importance of Mathematics and English as educational tools is undeniable, In Primary schools, however, an over emphasis is on these subjects alone is not enough. Science and specifically the practical aspects of science are being sidelined at the very time that we need them the most. We believe that science must incorporate art, design and aesthetics (the 'A' in STEAM) as a catalyst for inspiration and that problem solving skills are developed through STEM and STEAM learning.
