The Federation of Barnehurst Schools Review - May 24
Highlights from the report:
The Federation of Barnehurst Schools is a vibrant place where high expectations are maintained and held by everyone. Pupils are provided with exceptional opportunities and have the support of a talented team of passionate educators. Everyone is continually striving for greater success and to build upon the success that has previously been achieved.
The Power of Me and the Power of We are a fundamental element and key driving force for the school’s curriculum. It is not an ‘add on’ to the curriculum and the school recognises that pupils need to be living and breathing it throughout their school experience. Pupils develop as global citizens and through engaging tasks bring the school’s values into action and life. It is a natural way to respond to the needs of a changing community. Leaders want to support pupils and encourage them to be outward-looking and consider what they can do as individuals to make a difference in society, both locally and globally.
The curriculum is inspirational and provides opportunities for all pupils to flourish.
Pupils use their iPads to support the learning exceptionally well. Not only does it maintain engagement, but it provides numerous learning opportunities, for example pupils can highlight keywords, follow the text, change the colour of the background or find synonyms. Pupils can leave a voice note so that they can listen to themselves reading words and edit it if required. This also removes the barrier of writing for some pupils who find writing more challenging.
