Description
Westbury Park Primary school in Bristol has an original approach to personalised learning. We follow a Year 5 class as the children create their own song, and a Year 1 class during the course of their three literacy lessons in pirate week . In collaboration with the University of Bristol's Effective Lifelong Learning Inventory project (ELLI), Westbury Park uses seven dimensions for effective teaching and learning: learning relationships, changing and learning, creativity, resilience, curiosity, meaning making and strategic awareness. Each dimension is linked to an animal to help the children understand and remember its meaning. At the start of each task the children identify which learning dimension or dimensions they will need to use to be successful. This process involves the children in a much more practical way. They are partners in their learning and we can see that they can identify ways in which they can improve their learning and make progress. Alan Rees, Headteacher.
