How we learn

At St Andrew's, we seek to instil four key learning attributes alongside our school values. These attributes are regularly celebrated, modelled and explained by our staff. They cover the wide range of learning that is applied and expected in lessons and through our school curriculum. Alongside with our school values, it is our belief that as children develop these attributes, they will be prepared for future success.

The following is an overview of how children learn during their time at St Andrew's School and Nursery. There are many other ways in which children learn, but this provides an idea of what children will experience on a daily basis during their time in school.

Listening
Think, Pair, Share
Modelling
Oracy
Metacognition
Outdoor learning
Independent Practice
Curriculum enrichment 

Regular enrichment is a strong feature of our curriculum. The curriculum is brought to life using artefacts and resources and through trips and visits. For further information on the visits we organise please visit Personal Development

Our teachers engage in regular professional development. Each year, we evaluate our priorities to improve teaching and learning and this forms the basis of our school development plan. Our teachers engage in coaching through resources such as walk-thrus, the National College, The Education Endowment Foundation, The Chartered College of Teaching and projects run by Worcester Local Education Authority. This ensures our teachers education in a way that is effective for and inclusive of all pupils.
