We’re excited because we’re timestabletastic!
We have all been working on developing Building Learning Power at St Margaret Clitherow for about 18 months now. This is all about ensuring that our children are ENGAGED in their learning and are ENABLED to TAKE CONTROL of their LEARNING journey. It is based upon the research of Professor Guy Claxton but we have adapted it for our school context. The results are amazing!

Well done everyone – we are all learners together!
