St Thomas Primary School is committed to delivering evidence-aligned learning and teaching practices underpinned by three overarching areas:
Knowledge Knowledge builds on knowledge
Learning Novices and experts learn differently
Memory Reducing cognitive load 'frees up' working memory 'space'
Our teaching teams work collaboratively to design and deliver purposeful, high-impact learning opportunities that meet the diverse needs of our learners.
We intentionally use our natural surroundings as a dynamic extension of the classroom. Through meaningful connections to the environment, students engage in authentic learning that inspires curiosity, creativity and deep understanding of our natural world.
