A key thought around our new curriculum is the role of the pupil. We led an assembly for our pupils on making learning look effortless recently which emphasised the need for 'grit' - the stuff that makes you stick at things when the going gets tough and stops you giving up - the grit that makes you flow to do the things you aspire to do. For more details head here! Consequently, the new curriculum is tough on learners - it's a tough love curriculum or TLC! An interesting idea recently espoused at a Southampton conference which we are pinching... our pupils need to be:
- Taking greater responsibility
- Developing the language to communicate learning - being articulate
- Identifying and discussing their own next steps
- Working collaboratively
- Questioning
- Growing their mindset!
