Teaching and learning is the purpose of our school. We see teaching and learning as the way in which the curriculum is delivered and the process by which individuals develop understanding and the ability to apply knowledge and skills. We also view it as a process of co-operative teamwork and welcome and encourage the involvement of parents and others in the community. Our aims for teaching and learning are that all children will: • Make the greatest possible progress across a broad, balanced curriculum, in a secure, stimulating and happy environment. • Learn to be tolerant and understanding, having respect for the rights, views and property of others. • Develop a responsible and independent attitude towards work and towards their roles in society. We believe that effective learning takes place when: • Pupils feel valued as individuals and are actively involved in the learning process and in evaluating their progress. • Classroom relationships are built on mutual tolerance and respect for all work partners. • Pupils are encouraged by their teachers and are given opportunities to enjoy a genuine sense of achievement. • There is a common awareness that high standards of self-discipline and order are expected. • The environment in which pupils and teachers are working is stimulating, comfortable and safe. • Lessons are well prepared with tasks and resources appropriate to pupils learning needs. • All members of the school community enjoy equality of opportunity.
