Philosophy of Learning

Our philosophy of learning is always growing and evolving. As teachers and leaders, we see ourselves as learners too — continually reflecting, refining and improving our practice so that every child thrives.

Our Teaching and Learning Model

At the centre of our approach is a...

Strong Classroom Culture

We create positive, motivating and high-challenge environments where children feel safe, valued and ready to learn. We build this culture through visible consistencies, relentless routines and clear behaviour management.  Children feel able to take risks, explore ideas and engage deeply with their learning. ​

 

Surrounding this core are our five pillars of learning, which work together to shape every lesson, interaction and learning experience:

Deep Thinking

Encouraging curiosity, reasoning and challenge. Children are supported to think deeply, ask questions, explore possibilities and articulate their thinking.

Precision Teaching

Providing targeted, responsive teaching that meets the needs of every learner. We use assessment to inform next steps and ensure each child makes strong progress.

Assess, Adapt, Adjust

Using ongoing assessment to shape teaching in real time. Staff adapt approaches, adjust activities and provide support or challenge to move learning forward.

Developing Oracy

Prioritising talk as a tool for learning. Children develop the language, vocabulary and confidence to express ideas, engage in discussion and communicate effectively.

Connect & Reflect

Helping children make meaningful links across subjects and reflect on what and how they have learned. This strengthens understanding and builds independence.
