Nurturing Learning Behaviours
One of the main principles supporting curriculum design is to facilitate ‘exploratory’ learning, meaning boys are active agents, rather than passive recipients, in their learning. For this reason, we emphasise collaborative learning opportunities to develop the following key learning behaviours: relishing, rather than fearing, challenge; recognising links between different subject areas; and fostering critical, enquiring minds, as opposed to ‘blind’ acceptance of received knowledge. Promoting these learning behaviours ensures learners develop in-depth subject knowledge and the skills to make learning rich and vibrant.
