Teaching and Learning

We provide opportunities for rich and deep learning to occur, raise aspirations and ensure challenge for all children.

Our vision for Teaching and Learning is to engage, enthuse and inspire every lesson, every day. We have ten Teaching and Learning Principles which we collectively believe underpin effective Teaching and Learning. These principles provide us with a consistent and coherent approach as well as a common language to use when talking about Teaching and Learning.

As a school, it is our strategy to zoom in on one Teaching and Learning principle for a sustained period of time. This enables us to reflect and practice embedding effective strategies into our lessons.

Teaching and Learning Principles

1. Questioning by All

2. Differentiated Challenge

3. Personalised Feedback

4. Purposeful Assessment

5. Independence

6. Positive Learning Climate

7. Reviewing Learning and Progress

8. Sharing the Big Picture

9. Modelling and Scaffolding

10. Relevance, Pace, Variety methods. We currently use Google Classroom and Class Dojo to set work and deliver live lessons to all our pupils.

iPads for Learning

Our Year 3, 4 and 5 pupils are given an iPad when they join in Year 3. iPads are a powerful educational tool that increase student engagement and inspire creativity.

They can be used for a huge range of purposes that bring the curriculum to life and provide endless learning possibilities. Students can collaborate on classwork in and out of school and access additional resources with ease.
