Teaching & Learning Approaches
Teaching and learning at Les Landes School is built on the belief that every child can thrive when they feel valued, challenged, and inspired. Our approach blends high‑quality teaching with a warm, nurturing environment, ensuring that pupils develop not only strong academic skills but also curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning that lasts well beyond their primary years.
Across the school, lessons are carefully planned to be engaging, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of all learners. Teachers use a wide range of strategies — from modelled examples and guided practice to hands‑on exploration, discussion, and collaborative problem‑solving — so that every child can access the curriculum and achieve success. We place a strong emphasis on developing core skills in reading, writing, and mathematics, while also offering rich opportunities in the arts, humanities, physical education, and outdoor learning.
Assessment is woven into everyday practice, helping teachers understand how children are progressing and what support or challenge they need next. Pupils are encouraged to take an active role in their learning by reflecting on their work, setting goals, and celebrating their achievements.
Our teaching and learning culture is strengthened by strong relationships, high expectations, and a commitment to continuous improvement. At Les Landes School, we aim to create classrooms where children feel safe to take risks, confident to ask questions, and motivated to do their best — every single day.
