Calm classrooms, curious children

Beads for maths, sandpaper letters for reading, real jugs for pouring. Ideas stay because hands remember.

Every child has a learning plan, updated weekly from what the teacher sees.
- Small, mixed-age classes
Younger children learn from older ones, older ones learn by helping.
- Safe and steady
CCTV at the gates, a school nurse on site, and solar power so fans and lights stay on.
Parents say
From families at Crestwood
Our son cried at every school before this one. On his third day at Crestwood he told us to go home.
She comes home and wants to cook, sweep and count everything. We did not teach her that.
The teachers know my children better than some of our relatives do.
