Knowing that every child learns differently, our teachers use a range of teaching styles to ensure that our children are engaged and motivated. Teacher’s present knowledge clearly through discussion, checking understanding, addressing misconceptions, feedback and making links to previous learning. We recognise the importance of a calm and open environment, in which the children are willing to take risks, are independent and take responsibility for their own learning. Teaching is appropriate to the ages and abilities of pupils, ensuring pupils understand what is expected of them, giving them the opportunity to achieve success. Teachers provide work that is challenging, stimulating and encourages critical thinking. We value the importance of using the outside environment in order to promote a love of learning and foster respect for the local environment and the wider world.
