How we teach

Our curriculum is carefully sequenced so that knowledge and skills build in meaningful steps. Children are taught to think, question, discuss and apply what they know.

Through evidence-based teaching approaches drawn from the work of organisations such as the Education Endowment Foundation and the London South Research School, we ensure high-quality teaching and purposeful learning across the curriculum.

‍

Our learning culture is built on high expectations, reflective thinking and meaningful enquiry. We aim to help every pupil develop a lifelong love of learning by providing access to a rich and diverse curriculum that is firmly rooted in our local community. This enables pupils to make connections between their learning and the world around them — locally, nationally and globally

Our learning principles

Young girl in blue school uniform writing on whiteboard, smiling woman with lanyard watches her.

Every child is known.

We understand our children as individuals - their strengths, their starting points, and what they need to grow. No child is invisible here.

Every child is challenged.

We hold high expectations for all. Our curriculum is ambitious, our teaching is rigorous, and we never accept that a child has reached their ceiling.

Every child is prepared.

We teach knowledge, skills and character because being ready for the next stage of education means more than passing tests. It means leaving Loughborough with confidence, resilience and a love of learning.
