Our Approach
Our approach is a synthesis of compelling content and academic enquiry, not a specific sequence of lessons. Each scheme of work — whether History, English, RS, Citizenship or PSHE — integrates the study of history and literature with ethical decision-making and innovative teaching strategies.
Teaching Strategies
Designed to support History, Citizenship, PSHE, RS and English, this resource offers a variety of classroom strategies to develop critical thinking and communication skills, model democracy in the classroom, and empower students to become active, responsible citizens.
