Questioning, sifting through information, prioritising: these are skills that everyone needs to learn for themselves – but we believe in guiding our pupils in this aspect of their learning. We actively encourage our pupils to become active thinkers and learners.
Across our curriculum, the following skills are integral:
- collaborative thinking
- critical thinking
- caring thinking
- creative thinking
- curious thinking
- reflective thinking
Thinking Skills are embedded in Dame Bradbury’s teaching and learning, assisting our pupils to:
- Develop the ability to discuss and debate
- Learn to be flexible in their opinions
- Question what they hear
By using their thinking skills our pupils learn to look at cause and effect.
