At Penbridge School we want children to be successful learners and develop a lifelong love of learning. We teach the skills they need to be effective learners and the language they need to express how they can become successful across all areas of the curriculum.
We know that children are naturally inquisitive and we aim to develop this curiosity by providing a curriculum that engages and excites but also provides challenge at the correct level.
Our vision is that every child will ‘Love Learning for Life’.
This means that every day is an opportunity to learn something new that children will take forward into the next step of their learning journey.
We are part of the ‘Thinking School Academy Trust’ which means that we work on memory and retrieval skills so that children make links between different areas of learning. We follow an ‘all through’ model where the children go on to The Portsmouth Academy.
As part of our curriculum we utilise the Thinking School approach. Thinking Hats, Maps and Keys are all used in daily teaching and we firmly believe this approach teachers our pupils skills they need to achieve their goals.
