Instructional Approach

How we support learning

With clear routines, strong teacher-student relationships and plenty of opportunities for involvement, our learning focused environment supports students to grow in confidence and take pride in their learning. Here’s how we make that happen:

Learning Focused Environment

To maximise learning outcomes, we establish and maintain strong conditions for learning by ensuring attention is secured during lessons. Our classroom layouts are structured and predictable, with clear routines that minimise disruption and ensure students are engaged.

By fostering a supportive and orderly environment, we create the foundation for all students to learn.

High-Quality, Evidence-Based Instruction

We are committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based instruction that supports all students to achieve success.

Our teaching approach is structured, consistent, and designed to gradually transfer responsibility from the teacher to the student. We follow a clear model of gradual release, closely aligned with Explicit Instruction. Skills are explicitly modelled by the teacher, followed by guided and independent practice, with frequent checks for understanding to ensure students grasp concepts.

Building Knowledge for Success

We believe in building knowledge and securing success through a knowledge-rich curriculum. Our approach to literacy and numeracy is systematic and explicit, equipping students with the essential skills needed for academic achievement.
