'Project' based learning ~ cool as I.C.E. ...

We have developed an engaging curriculum approach to enthuse our pupils by Providing Real Opportunities for Joint Education through Challenging Tasks ~ ‘Project’. We have based our philosophy on the Mantle of the Expert approach in which our pupils become the experts in their chosen field of study. Pupils take responsibility for their learning and solve problems which emerge as they journey through the twists and turns of the Project.

We take advantage of our knowledge of pupils’ preferred way of learning to aid their grasp of new concepts through lessons which immerse pupils into the context of the learning; both through the visual display, the environment, an artefact or scenario and the activities the pupils engage in.

This enables thinking skills to be developed across the curriculum by empowering learners to own and personalise both their independent and co-operative learning, develop skills of research and investigation, learn to self-assess and to have a positive sense of self as an active learner of key skills as guided by their class teacher.

We endeavour to deliver as much learning as possible through our Project approach but there are times when we deliver discrete and technical level lessons to cover subjects which stand alone at times or to ensure that core skill levels will enable the children to apply their knowledge successfully. All of our teaching references the programmes of study in the National Curriculum:

EYFS English Maths Science Computing

RE PSHCE History Geography PE

French DT Art Music

We use the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds phonics scheme at Eagle.
