Transformational Education

Transformational Education means truly understanding our learners. It is about purposefully blending pedagogy and curriculum so that every learner feels seen, supported, stretched, and equipped to succeed with confidence.

We aim to provide transformational education to all our pupils through three key approaches- an ambitious curriculum, a deep understanding of learners, and by following our shared Pedagogical Principles.

Who Deep Understanding of learners How Pedagogical Principles What Curriculum

The Who

Transformational Education recognises that teachers must possess a deep understanding of their learners, recognising that they learn at different rates, require varying levels of support, and need to feel both capable and confident in their learning.

“Learning builds on what pupils already know. Pupils see themselves as experts in the different subjects – as scientists or historians, for instance – and learn well.”

The How

Transformational Education involves both thoughtful planning and agile responsiveness, drawing on our Pedagogical Principles to deliberately choose and skilfully apply effective teaching strategies, while continually reflecting on their impact to strengthen competence and enhance outcomes.

“With effective trust support, the school has embedded an ambitious curriculum in most subjects across the school… [teachers] are ambitious for what pupils should be able to do from Year 7.”

The What

Transformational Education means that all pupils work towards common curriculum outcomes, while teachers tailor their support to ensure every learner makes meaningful progress, building the knowledge, skills, and self-belief to thrive.
