The Foundation Learning programme is an important part of our wider curriculum and aims to help students in Years 7 and 8 to develop the important learning habits they need for a successful education with us.
In line with Our Intent, Foundation Learning aims to ‘develop highly literate, numerate and knowledgeable learners who are creative, self-regulating and resilient.’
The aim of Foundation Learning is to give students just that: some of the foundations of learning. Our ambition is that students develop a great sense of self-regulation in their learning and build on, from Key Stage 2, the successful study habits that will carry them forward into their future studies. Foundation Learning teaches students how to:
- make the most of their lessons and opportunities;
- revise and what this means;
- use retrieval activities and self-testing to maximise and unlock their potential.
