CAMBRIDGE PRIMARY STUDY

The Cambridge University has just completed a 6-year in-depth study on primary education.

Dame Gillian Pugh, the review’s chairman, said: “If you introduce a child to too formal a curriculum before they are ready for it then you are not taking into account where children are in terms of their learning and their capacity to develop.”

She added that forcing four-year-olds to “sit quietly” often backfired as it turned them off reading at a young age.
