Primary Years Programme

Langley Park Primary Academy aim to produce life long learners and to ensure the children feel ready for each stage of their learning. This is encouraged daily through the Learner Profile Attributes which help the children develop the attributes they need to be well rounded individuals. The Learner Profile Attributes are at the heart of our teaching and learning. There are ten learner profile attributes altogether. Each learner profile focuses on an attribute to develop and demonstrate the importance for being internationally-minded.

Children have a range of opportunities to develop, demonstrate and reinforce attributes of the learner profile in the daily life of the learning community. For example, these opportunities arise:

  • as part of the school curriculum: through the trans-disciplinary units of inquiry and through subject-specific investigations

  • through interactions in a variety of learning spaces: in the library, music room, and through social interactions—break and lunch, sport and interest groups, after school activities during field trips.

  • through school events—assemblies, drama productions, sports days.

There will be an insight into the meaning behind each learner profile attribute over the forthcoming weeks.

… am sensitive to other people’s needs.

At Home

The learner profile attributes can be used at home and in the wider community. This could be recognising interactions with family, friends, sports clubs and interest groups.

Ideas for conversations:

I have noticed that you have been balanced because you have eaten all of your dinner.

I have noticed that you have been caring to your sister.

I can see you have been an inquirer because you have been curious.
