Here at HeadStart Primary, we provide Maths, English and Science teaching and assessment materials for primary schools. All the authors who write for HeadStart Primary have many years of teaching experience and have a wide knowledge of which resources are effective for the development of children’s learning. As a former primary headteacher, I was very fortunate in leading a dedicated and highly skilled team of teachers and teaching assistants to achieve an ‘outstanding’ grade at my last Ofsted inspection. My ethos as CEO of HeadStart Primary is the same as it has been throughout my teaching career. I believe success can be achieved by applying tried and tested principles with care, determination and consistency. I know how busy teachers are, and I understand that teachers need top-quality, easy-to-use and time-saving resources to help them with the demands of delivering a rich curriculum. Our materials are designed with great care and attention to detail. The process of writing starts with the focus on the child, and how the content will help an individual pupil learn. The most important person in a child’s school day is their class teacher, and class teachers need resources that are effective in supporting their high-quality teaching. School leaders understand the need for a consistent systematic approach across the school, and whilst our materials meet this criteria, they also complement and facilitate good and outstanding teaching.

We started our life as Mitchell Walk Playgroup. In June 2014 we became Holding Hands Pre-School and moved into our current setting. We gained our third consecutive outstanding OfSted rating in March 2018. We pride on ourselves in welcoming all children and families no matter what their ability, background and beliefs. We accept referrals from agencies such as Brokerage, Carers Bucks and Family Centres as well as applications directly from parents. We deliver a holistic educational and multi-sensory experience day by day by not only embracing our outside areas but also by delivering specifically designed small group and interventional activities encouraging emotional well being, speech and language and closing peer development gaps through early identification. We give our children every opportunity to discover their world. We encourage them to explore their environment in a safe supported way. We empower our children to be confident and challenge them to achieve their full potential offering thought provoking and physically enabling activities whilst embracing the beauty of our local Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Life is meant to be beautiful and the way we view it is everything. Our ethos is to help each other, praise each other, to empower children to believe in themselves and their abilities. We will develop strong, resilient and caring children with real confidence and real self-esteem. We encourage our children to manage their own emotions through mindfulness.
