The beginnings of all things are small but the possibilities for our primary pupils are
infinite. Many books explore the wonders of science and education research but few are rooted
in the reality of the primary classroom what it is really like to run a primary classroom and
to spend each day in the fascinating company of our youngest learners. Initium looks with care
and specific attention at the needs of our youngest learners the development of age and stage
appropriate practice and pedagogy alongside the joys and realities of working within the
primary phase. Primary is a unique stage of a child's development and requires a specific and
distinctive approach to how we structure teaching and learning. What works at age 16 or 14
won't necessarily work with a classroom of 6-year-olds. Informed by science and rooted in over
25 years of primary expertise Initium is research-informed practice for the primary
specialist.
