We believe that children learn best when they enjoy what they are doing. At Ongar Place we are committed to enriching and supporting learning through first hand and practical experiences.

We promote excellence in learning and include the development of thinking skills, collaborative and investigative opportunities for our children throughout their learning journey.

Active involvement in the learning process leads children to become independent, creative and autonomous in their own learning. Educational visits and visitors help to enrich their learning experiences and provide further learning beyond the classroom.

We strongly believe that our curriculum provides challenge, excitement and enjoyment and meets the needs of all our learners, preparing them well for a successful future.

We are able to provide and sustain a family atmosphere and we value the close involvement of parents in their children’s education. We see educational success as the result of the combined efforts of happy motivated children, supportive parents and a committed school.
