Hinchley Wood School

Description

Thinking Smart is a new approach to the Key Stage 3 curriculum, based on the RSA's Opening Minds programme, developed at Hinchley Wood School, Surrey. This high-attaining school believes that its students can do even better by Thinking Smart. When Sue Eacott, Head of Science at the school, heard about this cross-curricular approach, which emphasises group work and core competences, her first response was How am I going to teach forces? How am I going to deliver electricity? But she's been won over to the approach. We see her teach a lesson about cells which is full of the most wonderful examples of student creativity and collaboration.
