Habits for Learning

The ‘Habits for Learning’ have been implemented to encourage student engagement in their own learning. Each has been explicitly delivered through assembles and links to the attitude for learning grades which are given to students 5 times a year. Students are rewarded for demonstrating the skills of confidence, resilience and independence at every opportunity, by receiving additional stamps in their planners.
