There is huge pressure on schools today to get the best possible results in English and mathematics. The best way to obtain these results is to engage, motivate and enthuse pupils so that they want to learn. And the best way to do this is to provide a vibrant, creative, memorable curriculum which captures their imagination and makes their learning interesting and fun. This is precisely what Primary Matters helps schools to provide. When taught in the way advocated by Nicola Powell and her team, not only do pupils produce stunning work, but they also gain so much in terms of their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
