Impact on LearningAugust 21
The positive effects that working on the project have had on the whole school continue to grow. The children's attainment across all subjects has increased significantly, with the most positive SATs results in the school's history, and its first ever oversubscribed year!
The integration of creative teaching and learning, and the level of control the children had over their own experience, has evidently made learning all the more irresistible to them. This uniquely innovative project has illustrated the value of problem solving and critical thinking, within an enquiry-based learning model.
But this impact was far from restricted to the students; teachers were also supported in their development throughout the project, working alongside a diverse range of other professionals and attending external developmental courses. As befits a creative curriculum, it was important to focus on teaching practice, as well as learning, and embed creativity throughout the planning, delivery and evaluation processes.
