Teaching & Learning Policy  

At Hyde Park Schools, our Teaching & Learning Policy is at the heart of our mission to provide an outstanding education for every pupil. We are committed to a teaching philosophy that is creative, innovative, and adventurous, placing learning at the very centre of our school. Our approach ensures that every child is challenged to reach their full potential, while also being supported to embrace new and exciting challenges. 

Our policy is built on a foundation of core principles: 

• Aspirations for All: We have the same high ambitions for every learner, and we encourage pupils to believe in themselves and take ownership of their learning journey. 
• Skill-Based Learning: We use strategies that value effort, perseverance, and collaboration, empowering pupils to develop essential problem-solving and leadership skills. 
• Vibrant Curriculum: We deliver a broad, balanced, and ambitious curriculum that is made vibrant through regular school trips, visitors, and on-site experiences. 
• Expertise and Professionalism: Our staff are highly trained and skilled, providing a nurturing and stimulating learning environment. We invest in continuous professional development to ensure our teaching remains effective and impactful. 
• Assessment for Learning: We use both formative and summative assessments to continuously check on pupils' progress and address any misconceptions, ensuring all learners are making excellent progress. 

This policy reflects our school's vision to create a culture where thinking and learning flourish, laying the foundations for our pupils to become confident, lifelong learners and active members of society.
