About Purple dragon

At Purple Dragon the children are at the centre of everything we do.  Our mission is to cultivate resilient, motivated, lifelong learners; that is, children who have a passion for learning and know how to maximise their learning opportunities wherever the go.  We have curated a bespoke educational approach, rooted in the latest educational and neuroscience research, underpinned by the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) developmental milestones and the HEI School of Finland curriculum plus specialist languages and music curricula.
