This has transformed our learning and pedagogical approach in lessons.
One of our other unique strengths, is our commitment to encouraging and enabling students to take ownership of their learning. To this end all students attend a weekly coaching session with their form tutor setting weekly and long term learning goals linked to our curriculum and Student Agency in Learning (SAIL) approach.
