Every child is different.
Some love football.
Some love drawing.
Some love building, talking, questioning, or imagining stories.
Yet for years, education has tried to teach every child the same way — same worksheet, same explanation, same pace.
At Anselhill Academy, we believe learning becomes powerful when it feels personal, relevant, and connected to who the child already is.
That is why our teaching approach begins with understanding the child first, before the subject.
This isn’t about shortcuts or cramming for exams.
It’s about helping children understand deeply, remember confidently, and apply knowledge naturally — for school, exams, and life beyond the classroom.
Why Traditional Teaching Often Fails Children

Many children struggle not because they are incapable — but because the learning never connects to how their brain works.
Traditional teaching often:
- Prioritises memorisation over understanding
- Ignores individual interests
- Moves on before concepts are fully grasped
The result?
Children forget what they “learned” as soon as the test ends.
At Anselhill Academy, we see learning differently.
