LEARN Programme
LEARN Programme of Study 2022 – 2023
Intent: Every morning our students begin their day with their 30-minute form time, setting our students up for the day ahead. Our tutor time LEARN programme prepares students to be successful thinkers, speakers and learners and focusses on building social, emotional and academic motivation and agency. This is facilitated through a weekly assembly, Form Tutor led personal review session, LEARN session, reading led topic session (with themes taken from our inclusion, diversity and personal development curricular) and Circle Time session. We want our students to understand and develop the behaviours and mindsets which will lead to personal development and success, whilst also having a secure awareness and understanding of their own identity and a deep appreciation and respect for others locally, nationally and globally, so that they are ready to become reflective citizens in the future. Our LEARN ethos underpins all that we do and through our inclusive practice we want to pledge accessible opportunities for all, ensuring that everyone is valued and accepted for their individual attributes and that there is equity and equality in recognition and reward. We believe this creates a genuine sense of belonging where no individual is missed.
