Whole School: Learning
 
Issues & Research

This part of the School's website is devoted to issues related to learning. Since the academic year 2002-2003, the School has invested significant resources in improving our awareness and understanding of areas which have come to be embraced by the terms 'accelerated' or 'accelerative learning'. Very briefly, research is beginning to explain why we learn the way we do - and how our brains actually help us to learn.

Some very interesting notions arise from this - ideas to do with exercise, diet and the way we study. We are now busy, in all areas of the School, actually putting our newly acquired knowledge into practice - so that learning in the classroom is enhanced and learning outcomes are improved.
