Posted on: April 25th 2023

Block PlayTeaching and Learning at Feltonfleet remains at the forefront of educational practice because our staff continually engage in Continuous Professional Development across a range of sectors. 

During recent years, our Early Years learning environments and routines have been reconsidered, reconfigured and reinvigorated with regard to current educational research.

Amanda Burton Smith with Nursery pupilOne of the influences evident is that of the work of the Froebel Partnership with whom some of our staff have been training. 

Amanda Burton Smith, Head of Pre-Prep recently contributed a guest blog to the Froebel Partnership Website which can be found at Guest blog | The Froebel Partnership.

Our talented Year 5 pupils created a stunning poppy display for Remembrance in their DT lessons, using scroll saws and plastics ovens to craft 3D poppies from Foamalux. A big thank you to Mrs. Manley for completing the display with a beautiful dove. #Feltonfleet #FeltonfleetCreativeArts #remembranceday #lestweforget

We will remember them. This year’s remembrance service at Feltonfleet was particularly moving, with a visit from the niece of one of Feltonfleet’s fallen, reminding us of the personal stories and legacies behind each name. Our Heads and Deputy Heads of School led the commemoration, sharing insights from their visit to the Royal Hospital Chelsea, where Veterans shared what remembrance means to them. Today, and always, we remember with gratitude and pride. #remembranceday #lestweforget #Feltonfleet #armisticeday @royalhospitalchelsea
