Teaching & Learning

At Lionheart school, teaching and learning is focused on personalised learning plans that address both academic and emotional development, in small classroom settings, fostering strong relationships between teachers and students.

Two key components of our teaching and learning approach are phased learning and task cards.

What is phased learning?

Phased learning allows students to progress at their own pace by breaking down the curriculum into manageable chunks, enabling students to master each phase before moving on to the next.

This approach to teaching and learning helps to reduce anxiety and build a solid foundation of knowledge, ensuring that students are fully prepared for future challenges.

What are task cards?

Task cards provide clear, step-by-step instructions for specific tasks or activities, helping students stay focused and organized.

Task cards can be tailored to individual learning needs and are particularly useful for breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps.

This approach not only enhances understanding and retention but also promotes independence and self-confidence in students. This provides structured opportunities for students to regulate.

This approach allows Lionheart school to make a positive impact on young lives, helping students overcome barriers, and guiding them towards a brighter future.
