Groups are regularly consulted, being given the opportunity to evaluate lessons from the pupils’ perspective.

Sensible and thoughtful answers to teachers’ questions provide a valuable insight into the effectiveness of lessons and how learning can be improved.

Pupils’ views make a significant contribution to the drive to constantly develop teaching and learning styles. They also help the way pupils are encouraged to understand about and take responsibility for their own learning. They speak confidently about their learning and the progress they are making.”

Edison were a perfect fit with their vision and values based on leading edge educational research with its roots in the US Charter School system.

They have significantly invested in a connected curriculum which is flexible to meet the needs of our Free School with a strong emphasis on the 4 modes of Learning which will inform our new School and provide individual learning plans and records supported by personal coaching and mentoring.

Lessons will take place in flexible, personalised learning spaces in which EdisonLearning have firsthand experience of practical implementation and will help us achieve a small school size, with small class sizes fitted to the needs of the child. Sometimes you just find the right fit!
