The Bramley Way

Our Teaching and Learning Model

The aspiration of our school is that a focus on high quality teaching – defined as ‘making every lesson count for every child’ can deliver a better learning experience for our children.

 

Our teaching and learning approach is defined through the three main components within The Bramley Way:

  • Nurturing the Bramley Citizen
  • Growing the Bramley Learner
  • Delivering Bramley Teaching

 

 

Nurturing the Bramley Citizen 

At Bramley, we aim for children to value being a member of a community, within the school and wider world. There are regular opportunities for children to play, learn and grow as people developing friendships and a sense of belonging. We aim to ensure children develop self-awareness: taking responsibility for their own learning, embracing a growth mindset and having high expectations of what they can achieve.

Through a nurturing and supportive whole-school ethos, with opportunities to contribute to all aspects of school life, we strive for all children to develop a sense of confidence which they will take forward with them in life in order to make a positive contribution to the future.

 

Growing the Bramley Learner 

We actively encourage children to be reflective about their learning, behaviour, beliefs and values, and to develop a sense of personal responsibility alongside the motivation and aspiration to learn and improve.

Through a combination of research and collaboration with stakeholders, we have identified 5 prominent learning behaviours which will effectively support our aims for our children. These can be grown through every subject across each year group and will provide a foundation for pupils to learn effectively and thrive throughout their schooling and into the workplace of the future.

 

Delivering Bramley Teaching 

At Bramley, we recognise the vast number of different teaching strategies and pedagogies which are used in the classroom to facilitate effective learning. As a teaching team, we have spent time discussing and shaping what we want teaching to look and feel like in our school. As a result, we have identified key teaching strategies that provide a consistent foundation to the quality of teaching across the school.
