Spotlight on practice: Gowerton Primary School

A culture of independent learning

Gowerton Primary has established robust processes to promote learners’ independence from an early age. Staff plan purposeful activities, particularly in literacy and numeracy, that enable learners to choose their own approaches. The communal ‘learning street’ is used well to create purposeful opportunities for learners to think and work independently. As a result, most learners develop as resilient, reflective individuals who use a range of strategies to solve problems, collaborate effectively, and take ownership of their learning.
