21st century learning

We need to teach in different ways if students are to learn what they need in the 21^st century.

• One to one coaching to set goals and check progress
• Mastery lessons Time will be devoted each day to making sure students practise the specific skills they need to improve: e.g. grammar and punctuation
• Harkness tables – 12 students debating and leading enquiries round an oval table, like a university seminar
• Lectures from subject specialists to develop deeper thinking and knowledge
• State of the art science, technology, engineering and maths projects
• Individual study. Students will learn how to work carefully on their own  – pursuing their own passions and completing their weekly goals to a high standard
• Project based learning to combine knowledge, thinking, creativity and team work
• Sport. Taking advantage of the Olympic legacy facilities we will give every student the chance to take part in high quality sport
• Music and art. All children will learn an instrument and be able to join a music group, as well as developing their art and design skills.
• Drama to develop confidence and speaking skills
