In every lesson, teachers consistently apply our ‘7 Principles’ and ‘Thinking School’ approach, as modelled in our 5 ‘Waves’ of learning, so pupils are supported to think for themselves, through the development of a thorough understanding of purposeful thinking tools that they can use to aid and monitor their own progress.
Teachers are responsible for the effective planning (short, mid, long term), delivery of lessons that are relevant, challenging and engaging to the cohorts they teach.
