Learning Policy

At our School we work to make the children able.

You learn and become able…

• When you feel comfortable and safe
• When you want to learn something or know you need to learn it.
• When you know why, not just how.
• When you are not afraid to make mistakes.
• When you know what is expected and what is acceptable.
• When you have time, and you feel relaxed and enjoy the lesson.
• When you are allowed to explore and explain what you have learned.
• When someone notices you’ve done well and you are praised, (and the good news is passed on to someone important to you).
• When you think about what worked and didn’t work and decide how to do better.
• When you are encouraged to think about things in new ways.
• When you are encouraged to discuss work, or share your skills and knowledge with others.
• When you are helped and supported by friends.

So, what would everyone in our school need to do to make these things happen?
