Effective Learners

The curriculum is underpinned by three 'Characteristics of Effective Learning'. At Hereward, we promote these in a number of ways.

Playing & Exploring - Engagement - Helping children by enabling them to:

• Find out and explore;
• Play with what they know;
• Be willing to have a go.

Active Learning - Motivation - Helping children by enabling them to:

• Be involved and to concentrate;
• Keep trying;
• Enjoy achieving what they set out to do.

Creating and Thinking Critically - Helping children by supporting them to:

• Have their own ideas;
• Make links;
• Choose ways to do things.
