Lancy Lane Learners

Like many schools and educational professionals, we recognise that children today are finding it increasingly challenging to learn effectively. This is likely due to a range of factors that impact their ability to focus, retain information, and develop independent learning strategies. In response, we have developed a dedicated learning curriculum, which is taught explicitly and also embedded alongside our day-to-day teaching. The aim of this curriculum is to equip pupils with the essential skills they need to become successful learners. It focuses on areas such as resilience, independence, focus, organisation, and strategies for retaining and applying knowledge—skills that underpin academic progress across all subjects.

These skills are referred to throughout lessons to pinpoint and highlight to children when they need to activate and practise a skill. Teachers also use the associated widget symbols on their interactive whiteboards and throughout their teaching sequence for children to make these connections too.
