  • Building Learning Power

    Building Learning Power is a key component in all aspects of school life at Burstow Primary School. Pupils are taught how to become more effective learners and have a growth mindset so that they can reach their potential both at home and at school. All classrooms display the learning powered mind but more importantly pupils demonstrate the four Rs (resilience, resourcefulness, reflectiveness and reciprocity) and can use the language of learning, identifying which learning muscles they have strengthened and the impact it has had on their learning.  

    How does it work? 

    Building students as powerful learners: 
    Is based on a coherent picture of what it takes to be a good learner 
    Capitalised on previous learning-to-learn ideas 
    Grows a student’s learning character and habits 
     
    Develops the appetite and ability to learn in different ways 
    Transforms the culture of the classroom and the climate of the school 
    Shifts responsibility for learning to learn from the teacher to the learner 
    Engages teachers and students creatively as researchers in learning 
    Gives schools the opportunity to track student’s learning development 

    What effect will developing students' learning behaviours have? 

    Raised achievement  
    Improved behaviour  
    Increased motivation  
    Supply learning minds 
    Increased enjoyment in learning 
    Established habits of lifelong learning  
    Enhanced creativity.
