Knowledge of subject content, the knowledge gained from repetition of tasks, finding the love in the learning, the crafting and drafting to achieve the most creative and high quality outcomes, products.
Our vision supports pupils so that they can capture points in learning and then use these points to organise their thinking.

Staff teach pupils how to see links from within and across subjects. Pupils learn to spot where concepts overlap and how, by expanding their vocabulary, their memory is more effective. Creating learning that we will remember forever includes exciting and fun learning experiences for the pupils, but it is goes further. Teachers also use the latest cognitive and neuroscience findings, to ensure that pupils receive a systematic approach to retaining knowledge.
