Teaching and Learning We have high standards and expectations and we help each child to achieve the best of his / her ability. Through our commitment to equal opportunities, we ensure that all children have equal access to the curriculum and that they develop a positive image of themselves. We believe children learn best: 1. through relevant activities which stimulate interest, encourage enquiry and promote understanding. 2. through play and active involvement in mental and practical tasks. 3. when learning is practically based with opportunities to learn by “doing”, observing, solving problems and by experimenting. They also need opportunities to practise and repeat activities. 4. when they have access to a range of activities which allow them to be challenged. It is important they experience success but, at the same time, feel sufficiently confident and secure to risk mistakes. 5. when learning opportunities are set within their own experiences. It is important that we build upon the things that the children have done and learnt at home and outside of school. 6. when they are able to work independently. They also need to be able to question, Ainsfield School Rules and Regulations
