Teaching and Learning Vision

“Education is not the filling of a pail rather it is the lighting of a fire”

William Butler Yeats

OUR students will:

• Have a world class education;
• Confidently speak the language of learning;
• Inhabit their learning – understanding how this happens;
• Collaborate, create, investigate and empathise;
• Be confident independent learners;
• Be tenacious – never giving up on their learning;
• Be compassionate young people.

OUR teachers will:

• Be passionate about the learning of all;
• Practice Assessment for Learning, providing incisive diagnosis and feedback to drive progress;
• Support the personalisation of ‘stretch and challenge’ for all students;
• Narrow gaps and go beyond expectations;
• Model how to learn through the ‘Roan Ready’ skills;
• Collaborate with outstanding educators locally, nationally and internationally;
• Strive to improve through CPD, coaching, openness and the sharing of innovative practice;
• Embrace technology for learning;
• Champion literacy across the school;
• Celebrate individuality, aspiration and success in learning
