The term was begun with a shared commitment to learning, collaboration, and growth.

On Monday 24th July, staff from The Hills Montessori School joined with colleagues from Southern Montessori School for a special pupil-free day of professional learning, led by educational consultant Dr Anne Knock.

“Together, we explored the evolving landscape of education — and considered how we can respond with clarity, curiosity, and care.

The day was a valuable opportunity to pause and reflect on our own teaching practice, exchange ideas and experiences, and re-centre ourselves on what matters most: preparing children not just for school, but for life.

We left feeling inspired, connected, and ready to embrace the term ahead with renewed purpose.”
