Oaklea Montessori St John's | Ofsted Reports, Reviews (2025)

Maria Montessori was an Italian physician who created her educational strategies while working with underprivileged kids. She welcomed several kids into a house that was built with their social, physical, emotional, and intellectual development in mind. She created unique educational tools and a teaching approach based on her observations of how kids naturally learn and grow. With this method in a unique setting, she discovered that kids picked things up around them almost effortlessly and learned things. After receiving widespread acclaim for her techniques, she continued to use them with all youngsters. This gave rise to the Montessori educational philosophy, which is still applicable now as it was then. She established child-centered education as a best practise, which she pioneered.
We adhere to the Montessori approach, which at its core appreciates and respects every child and is created particularly to allow every person to develop at his or her own pace while fostering initiative and independence. Children's self-discipline and confidence are developed through a variety of engaging and useful activities. As they learn how to focus, they make decisions and carry out tasks to completion. Along with the enjoyment of being and doing things with other kids, they develop self-respect based on their own accomplishments and wisdom.
Through our non-profit Community Interest Company, we are pleased to provide children from all families with a top-notch Montessori education.
