The Science of Reading isn’t a takedown of Balanced Literacy—it’s a lens that sharpens it. At The Green School, we blend research-backed skills like phonics with the joy of rich literature and student choice. Reading shouldn’t be mechanical or ideological—it should be meaningful. Our goal? Confident, capable readers who not only decode words, but love them.

Great schools aren’t built on buildings—they’re built on educators. Research confirms what we’ve seen firsthand: the single greatest driver of student success is the teacher. Skilled educators do more than teach—they mentor, adapt, and inspire. When we invest in their growth, everyone benefits. Because the quality of teaching will always define the quality of learning.

At The Green School, technology isn't a trend—it's a tool for deeper connection, personalisation, and real-world readiness. From AI-driven assessments to adaptive learning platforms, we use tech to meet each student’s unique needs, reduce teacher burnout, and empower learners with future-ready skills. It’s not about screens—it’s about smarter, more meaningful education. This is just the beginning.
