Remarkable Teacher; Remarkable Learner

The Mastery Flow Model (inner ring) is the process that students follow in their learning - from first being introduced to new knowledge, through to acquiring deep understanding of the knowledge. The stages in Mastery Flow are: representation; fluency; probing questions; further extension and rich tasks.

We define deep understanding as:

• Learners’ long term retention.

• Learners’ ability to apply learning in a variety of contexts including the unfamiliar.

• It is about learners having deep cognitive understanding of their knowledge.

Teacher development

Inspirational and remarkable teaching, self-evaluation and self-improvement is at the heart of our ethos around professional development. We strive to ensure that all staff are provided with support and guidance and are equipped with the opportunity to reflect and work independently and collaboratively so as to ensure a developmental approach as well as remarkable outcomes.

We have a highly established and recognised teacher training programme and hold strong and professional working relationships with numerous highly recommended providers locally and internationally. We are proud to successfully nurture and embrace talent and allow ITT participants to flourish in the teaching world.

As we build on the rapidly improving quality of teaching within the school we are proud to have established a growing Teaching and Learning team, and a mind-set that promotes learning at high levels for all students.
