Mark explains how this is the dawn of a new era for Education on Fire. We are going to build and connect a community of firelighters who support children to live an authentic life using their talents and passion.

‘Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire’.

Join us around the campfire and help guide Education on Fire to positively affect the way children feel about life, learning and their future.

Thank you so much for listening during 2019. Have a very Merry Christmas and we look forward to continuing our journey in 2020.

We continue our Primary Music on Fire specials with a focus on nursery and early years. I chat to Rachel Hopson who is launching a new resource called Pizzicato Lane.

Rachel is head of music in a Sandwell secondary school in the West Midlands and has taught music for 20 years. Her real passion is the study of how young children’s personal and academic development can be enhanced by early exposure to music. This is why Pizzicato Lane has been created.
