When it comes to schooling the importance of Primary education is often overlooked. Wolsey Hall Oxford believes that Primary education forms the bedrock of a child’s learning journey – providing them with the essential skills and knowledge needed to navigate the challenges of the modern world.
It is during these early years that children develop fundamental cognitive, social, and emotional abilities that will shape their future. We believe it is incredibly important to recognise the significance of Primary education when embarking on your homeschool journey and we do our utmost to ensure that our Primary parents feel confident and supported when delivering our online homeschooling courses to their children.

Primary education plays a pivotal role in equipping children with foundational skills and knowledge that serve as building blocks for lifelong learning. From basic literacy and numeracy skills to critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication abilities, these early years lay the groundwork for intellectual growth and development.
Literacy and numeracy skills are particularly vital as they provide children with the tools to comprehend and express ideas effectively, fostering independent learning and exploration. Moreover, Primary education introduces them to various subjects, including mathematics, science, languages, history, and geography, fostering a well-rounded understanding of the world.
Cognitive development is accelerated during early childhood, making it a crucial period for stimulating intellectual growth. Our Primary homeschooling courses facilitate this process by offering age-appropriate curricula and interactive learning experiences that engage children’s curiosity and foster their cognitive abilities.
Through play-based activities, storytelling, experiments, and projects, primary education encourages children to explore, question, and experiment. These experiences cultivate their critical thinking skills, creativity, problem-solving abilities, and capacity for abstract reasoning. By nurturing cognitive development, Primary education sets the stage for future academic success and lifelong learning.
Primary education is not just about formalised learning – it also plays a vital role in nurturing social and emotional growth. During these formative years, children develop their social skills, learn to cooperate, communicate, and collaborate effectively, and develop empathy and understanding towards others.
