We believe that the process of learning needs to be made explicit to children to help them develop as effective life-long learners.
To help this we have selected 11 characteristics of effective learning. Each is represented as an animal which helps children to remember.
There is regular discussion about what each means and looks like in practice so that children understand them.
In lessons teachers will focus on one or two characteristics and encourage children to reflect upon how they have been applying them and why this has helped with learning.
You might also recognise these animals in our school mural!
