Teaching and Learning

As we prepare for the exciting year ahead, I’m pleased to share that starting in 2025, our school will be placing a strong emphasis on explicit teaching across all areas of the curriculum. This approach is grounded in clear, structured lessons that break down complex concepts into manageable steps, providing students with a solid understanding of what they are learning and why it’s important.

Research consistently shows that explicit teaching—where learning intentions are clearly stated, guided practice is provided, and students receive timely feedback—leads to improved student outcomes. By focusing on this method, we aim to ensure that every student, regardless of their starting point, has the tools and support they need to succeed.

Our teachers are excited to implement this approach, building on best practices and continuously refining their strategies to ensure that all students can engage meaningfully with their learning. Explicit teaching not only helps students achieve academic success but also fosters greater confidence, as they clearly understand their learning journey.

We are committed to keeping you informed as we embark on this new chapter and look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on our students’ growth and development in the years to come.
