The charity is now working with four primary schools in England providing grants for specialist equipment, as well as Montessori teacher training, and plans to work with a fifth school are progressing.
St Thomas More Catholic Primary School in Saffron Walden, Essex, has received a £10,000 grant from Montessori St Nicholas to introduce Montessori materials in the Reception class.
The school already has a Montessori pre-school and the approach will continue in Years 1 and 2, as the Reception children move up the school. The Montessori nursery manager is training Key stage 1 staff.
Aldersbrook Primary School in Wanstead has received £2,000 to provide Montessori training from September.
