Teaching and Learning
In 2016 our schoolwide theme is
To start the year we have looked at our own Unique Design - what makes us who we are, what we like to do and goals for the year ahead. We have also learnt about what makes each person in our classes unique and how we can work together to all be AS ACE.
Soon we will be looking at Astronomical Designs . . . . there will be some work to see on our blogs about this very soon!
When designing programmes of work and lessons for our students, the staff at Allenton School use the Teaching as Inquiry approach. This ensures we provide the best programmes for our students, based upon their needs and working to extend their understanding of concepts.
