Reporting and Progress Tracking

At British Oak Montessori, we are committed to maintaining open lines of communication with parents and guardians, ensuring that you are well-informed about your child’s development and progress. Our reporting system is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of your child’s journey, combining the principles of the Development Matters guidance tracker from the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and the rich Montessori tradition.

Progress Tracking and Reporting Process

Our comprehensive approach to progress tracking starts from the moment your child enters our nursery. We initiate with a Baseline Assessment, individually conducted for each child. This establishes a starting point that helps us tailor their learning experiences effectively.

Weekly observations are an integral part of our approach. Through our digital platform, learning journal, we document your child’s activities, achievements, and milestones. These observations are aligned with both Montessori and EYFS targets, providing a holistic view of their development. Parents receive a weekly brief report on learning journal, keeping you closely connected to your child’s experiences.

Formative and Summative Assessments

Formative assessments, carried out consistently through weekly observations, provide insights into your child’s day-to-day growth and development. These observations are vital in shaping our teaching methods and ensuring personalized learning experiences.

Summative assessments are conducted every term, capturing a broader view of your child’s progress. These assessments encompass both Montessori and EYFS targets, reflecting their growth across various areas of development.

Parent Partnership

We value the partnership between parents and educators. Within the first six weeks of your child’s enrollment, we schedule a meeting to discuss their transition and initial progress. This dialogue is instrumental in understanding your observations and insights, forming a collaborative effort in nurturing your child’s development.

Formal meetings with parents are organized twice a year, providing a structured platform to discuss your child’s progress, goals, and achievements. This dialogue allows us to align our efforts and ensures a cohesive approach to your child’s growth.

Our Teachers: Guiding with Passion and Expertise

Our educators embody the spirit of nurturing, guiding, and inspiring young minds. With a blend of Montessori principles and contemporary teaching practices, they create an environment where children thrive.

Our teachers’ core values revolve around empathy, patience, and a deep commitment to each child’s individual journey. They believe in fostering a love for learning, empowering children to explore, question, and create. Through observations, they tailor activities to meet the unique needs of each child, cultivating independence and a passion for knowledge.

At British Oak Montessori, we view education as a collaborative journey, and our teachers are at the heart of this partnership. With their dedication and expertise, your child’s growth is nurtured in an environment where curiosity is celebrated, progress is acknowledged, and every step forward is cherished.

At British Oak Montessori, we are not just teaching subjects; we are nurturing well-rounded individuals. Our curriculum goes beyond academics, focusing on the development of resilient, compassionate, and curious learners who are ready to embrace the challenges and wonders of the world.
