Science of Learning and Pedagogy

Evidence-Based Teaching: We use methods that have been proven to work through research. For example, we use strategies like the code to teach spelling because it helps students remember and understand what they’ve learned during their code sessions and to use this knowledge across the curriculum.

Managing Learning Load: The Science of Learning helps us structure lessons in ways that won’t overwhelm students. By breaking down complex information into smaller steps and using visual aids, we ensure students can learn without feeling overloaded.

Developing Thinking Skills: We encourage students to think about their learning, set goals and reflect on their progress. This helps them become more self-aware and independent learners, a skill that benefits them throughout life.

Personalised Learning: Every child is different and the Science of Learning reminds us of that. We tailor our teaching to meet the diverse needs of all students, making sure that everyone can succeed, regardless of their starting point.

Constructive Feedback: Regular and specific feedback is key to learning. We provide feedback that helps students understand how to improve, guiding them toward better outcomes.

Boosting Motivation: We know that students learn best when they are motivated by curiosity and a desire to understand. Our teaching encourages autonomy, a sense of mastery and purpose to keep students engaged and excited about learning.

Emotional Well-Being: Emotions play a big role in learning. By creating a safe and supportive learning environment, we help students feel confident to take risks and try new things, which is vital for learning and growth.

Active Learning: Learning by doing is highly effective. That’s why we emphasise hands-on activities like inquiry projects, peer teaching, and other forms of active participation that lead to deeper understanding.

By bringing together Pedagogy and the Science of Learning, we are making sure your children get the best of both worlds - a proven approach that is engaging, effective and tailored to their individual needs. Together, this approach sets the foundation for long-term success, not only academically, but also in developing skills that will serve them in life.
