CurriculumTeaching and Learning
At the Grey Coat Hospital, we recognise that all students have individual learning capabilities and we use a range of teaching methods to meet these. We are committed to improving the quality of teaching and learning within the classroom. Both students and teachers benefit from a whole school initiative, enabling teachers to be reflective of their practice within the classroom whilst providing opportunities for students to learn according to their individual learning styles.
Effective teaching is the result of a clear established practice, which includes the most basic of principles, from classroom management to creating effective learners, using assessment for learning strategies. Assessment for Learning means using evidence and dialogue to identify where pupils are in their learning, where they need to go and how best to get there. We do not prescribe any one teaching method and feel that teachers need to adapt teaching styles to suit the needs of the class. Whilst schemes of work provide guidelines for teachers to follow in delivering the curriculum, they need however, to be brought to life by the teacher, interpreted creatively to inspire and challenge students wherever possible. We expect our teachers to be responsible educators who build positive relationships which:
‘enable girls to take charge of their learning, make decisions based on Christian values, live in the world as independent women and meet the challenges of the twenty-first century.’
Each year we embark on projects which focus on the specific needs of teachers and students within the classroom. The main objective is to raise achievement and enable students to be more autonomous learners.
