Ladbroke Square Montessori School
Actions
At Ladbroke Square Montessori School it is our aim to provide children with strong learning foundations that will support their future education and personal development into adulthood.
We believe in nurturing independent thinking, fostering a love for learning and exploration of the world around them. With the support of caring, knowledgeable staff, the children construct foundations for learning and the ability to face and solve problems calmly.
From one of our newly renovated, carefully prepared, big and bright Montessori classrooms the children will explore and socialise within the safety of a Victorian converted home. Outside, the children happily explore our pond, mud kitchen and so much more in our private walled garden, in addition the school has daily use of Ladbroke Square Gardens - one of the largest communal gardens in London.
Our objective is to provide children with a safe, warm, and caring environment from which they can play, learn and develop into happy, healthy and inquisitive individuals. Children leave Ladbroke Square Montessori School with a sense of wonder at the world around them.
Ages
Our classes at Ladbroke Square Montessori School are filled with children of mixed age and genders from 2 years through to 5 years old. We find our younger children watch and learn from the older children in the school and therefore progress at a greater speed. While the older children gain confidence through their ability to help and guide the younger children. Each child learns at their own pace so no-one is held back. We work towards keeping the ratios as even as possible within each of our classes.
Our Two Year Old Class
Our Beanies class, especially for two-year olds is a real success. We offer children a gentler start and introduction into a Montessori class, equipped with materials and play ideas especially for their age range. This will be especially important for our little ones for whom lockdown has restricted their vital social interaction and play. All children are offered a morning place, with breakfast, lunch, afternoon school, extra activities and after school clubs as additional options. Once the children are ready, they’ll move up into one of the three classes in the main part of the school.
Lunches
We offer hot food at Ladbroke Square, it is a very popular option. Our children will lay the table with china plates, glasses, cutlery and flowers. There are water jugs on the table to enable the children to help themselves, and others thus contributing to the sense of independence and community at school. We feel it encourages our children try a variety of foods and meal combinations, it also saves parents preparing a lunch box each day, and reduces the amount of waste containers and packets from packed lunches.
Clubs/ Extras
At 8:00am, we begin our day with the option of breakfast club or Early birds at 8:40am Our extra-curricular lessons are taken by experienced and enthusiastic teachers. We hold French, dance, yoga and nature club within the school day - and have after school clubs until 4:00pm.
School trips
We seek to involve the children in our vibrant community. The school arranges for all classes to visit the local library and other places of educational interest. Recent visits include, the Ladbroke Grove fire station, classical music concerts and friendly local businesses.
Parents
Many parents contribute to both class and school by reading, cooking for example, and sharing their knowledge. The Parents at Ladbroke Square – PALS, act as parent/school liaisons and provide a focal point for social events and charity fundraising. We often hold positive parenting discussions and workshops, have individual meetings with parents about next school choices, have termly parent/teacher meetings and many other events.
