What is Montessori?
Montessori was inspired by Dr Maria Montessori in the early 1900s and is now the world’s largest global education movement. It is used and acclaimed in 600 UK schools & 22,000 worldwide and continues to influence “mainstream” educationalist thinkers everywhere.
Montessori isn’t just for pre-school children. Some UK schools take children up to 11 years.
Montessori is holistic in approach and focuses on the individual child – allowing them to develop at their own pace. It is backed by the Government’s Early Years Foundation Stage.
Montessori children have a high level of cognitive attainment at age 5 – above the national average. They also show strong levels of positive social and behavioral development in all areas.

Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) have launched an interactive online consultation on proposals for young people leaving social care.
The DCSF consultation is a new approach to conducting consultations online and aims to engage as many potential respondents as possible. This is because when the Government is developing policies, it’s important to take into account the impact of the proposals on different sectors of society. You can help shape policy for young people by giving your perspectives, ideas and feedback, whether you’re currently in social care, have left social care or are simply have an opinion. Click here for a summary of the consultation.
The goal of the consultation pilot is to make it easier to navigate the relevant documents, and help you find the sections that interest you. The pilot encourages open discussion by including a facility for participants to comment on the consultation as a whole, or on specific elements of the proposals. The consultation closes at midnight on 19 March 2010.

A lifeline for youth
As we prepare for economic recovery, the competition for jobs has never been fiercer. With record numbers of school leavers and graduates looking for work, the job market in 2010 will be as challenging as ever.
But if the struggle to find work has been getting you down, some great news has arrived. A new package of support from the Government launched last month offers tens of thousands of new jobs, internships, work experience and training opportunities to young jobseekers across the UK.
Backing Young Britain is a campaign aimed at helping provide you with more opportunities when looking for a job, work experience or developing skills.
They are running a series of Careers Fairs in shopping centres and football clubs around the country. The Careers Fair will give you the chance to find out about a range of opportunities in your area relating to gaining employment, an Apprenticeship or experience of work as well as providing advice and information on ways to further develop your skills. Those involved in the fair will include local employers, Jobcentre Plus and Further Education colleges. Read More »
