LUMIAR STOWFORD SCHOOL is Independent Primary school in Wiltshire for kids aged 4 to 11 (Gender - Mixed )
They want to prepare our learners to participate in our democratic society – both now, and in the future. That’s why every child is encouraged to share their opinions and is involved in decision-making around what projects they will be working on. Every Friday, the whole school meets for Circle Time – led by the children – where issues are raised and discussed, votes are taken and decisions are made. This shows them that their voice matters and counts.At Lumiar, the role of the teacher is divided into Tutors (permanent teachers) and Masters (visiting project experts). The Tutor provides the day-to-day support and really knows each child, and their strengths and challenges. They support their social and emotional development, keep track of each child’s academic progress, and make sure they are meeting age-appropriate competencies. They are also responsible for identifying the interests and abilities of their students and then supporting them to devise projects that help them to practice their skills and grow new ones. Masters, meanwhile, are subject matter experts who come into the school to share knowledge on a particular topic.
The school is based on Stowford Manor Farm, a family owned and run working farm set around historic 15th century medieval buildings. Each week, the children spend half a day at the farm’s Education Centre, learning about where food comes from, and gaining new skills. The children do a mix of physical farm work and creative projects, such as cooking or woodwork. In this way, they learn the fundamental importance of the natural world in our food chain. They also have weekly Woodland Learning sessions when they visit the local woods to play, explore, and be creative.
