“Happy children learn best … we adapt, and we are flexible and we create plans according to what children need.” Churcher’s College Nursery and Junior School: Ffion Robinson CLICK HERE to listen to the podcast
When asked about the Churcher’s College Nursery and Junior School ethos, Ffion responds: “Our USP [Unique Selling Point], really, is to make sure we have happy teenagers, and to our best ability we create those happy teenagers.” When discussing the school’s pupil praise, Ffion explains: “It is one of the many ways we try to boost self-esteem at the Junior School and Nursery. So, teachers will share with me children who deserve praise for their work in class – it could be effort-based or attainment-based – then I take the list of children…and then I handwrite a personal message individually to those children.” Discussing Churcher’s College Nursery and Junior School motto and educational approach, Ffion believes: “Practice makes Progress.”
