Ways
of involving secondary students in their own learning and a tool for showing
improvement in attitudes to learning.
In their latest OfSTED report
(June 2004) the Centre was described
as having ‘outstanding practice’ in teaching and learning.
 One
of the ways of showing student success whilst working at the base is
with the use of a questionnaire that the school has devised. Students
reflect on their attitude to learning as they enter the base and use
this to compare the way they feel as they leave. Students are encouraged
to identify the things that have helped them change their views.
 The Centre has a number of aspects of interest:
- The use of ICT across
the curriculum
- Students have control over logging their own data
on attendance
- Partnership with parents
- Group meetings with ‘Circle
of adults’ that
support a young person
- Breakfast ‘newspaper reading’ at
Breakfast Club
- Effective planning.
