Our objective
To help pupils and their parents to learn how to learn.
What we did
We held learning days to teach students and parents how to learn. Teaching specific study skills strategies taken from the accelerated learning programme, identifying their preferred learning styles, encourage them all to recognise their particular intelligence strengths and to use these more effectively in the learning process.
How well it worked
Students and parents enjoyed learning together in a safe environment, in small groups in a flexible, informal way. This was a non-uniform day which added to the relaxed atmosphere and reduced barriers.
Benefits we see
Adults and students now take risks with the learning process and think in a more creative and lateral way.
