What is your shared vision for your Curriculum offer?

‘letIthink’ envisions an educational landscape that inspires curiosity, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving.
Our goal is to prepare students for the complexities and uncertainties of the future

provoking Thinking

The ‘letIthink’ Schema is designed to nurture critical and creative thinking in young learners by encouraging them to question, analyse and explore. Our vision is to create a learning environment that values subjectivity, non-directivity, and cosmopolitanism.

Our curriculum aims to develop a dynamic process of learning to know, fostering the actualisation of potentialities and the creation of networks. The ‘letIthink’ Schema encourages children to see relationships as dynamic and learning as emergent, preparing them for a complex, interconnected nature of reality.

By integrating complexity science and subjectivity, we aim to move beyond static knowledge to a dynamic learning process. The letIthink Schema emphasises the importance of personal insight and multiple perspectives, fostering a holistic understanding of the world.

What support will be required to deliver the Schema?

Educators will receive training in non-directive teaching methodologies and complexity science. Ongoing professional development and access to specialised resources will ensure they are equipped to deliver the schema effectively.

generating Cultural Capital

We provide extensive support for educators to deliver the curriculum effectively. Our approach integrates a wide range of enquiry types, hands-on learning experiences, and interdisciplinary exploration.
This ensures that the curriculum is engaging, flexible and adaptable to the needs of all learners

Regular collaborative planning sessions will be held to align teaching strategies with the schema’s objectives. Teachers will be supported by experienced mentors and provided with resources to integrate critical and creative thinking activities into their daily routines.

A comprehensive support network, including interdisciplinary experts, will be established to assist educators in implementing the schema. We will also be able to extend your training through INSET days and after-school Workshops during the academic year. Online platforms and forums will offer continuous resources, lesson plans, and opportunities for sharing best practices.

How will you evaluate the impact of your Curriculum?

The impact of the letIthink Schema will be evaluated through a combination of formative, progressive and summative assessments.
Regular feedback from teachers, parents and students will be collected to gauge progress and make necessary adjustments.

fostering Change & Democracy

We continuously evaluate the impact of our curriculum through comprehensive assessment materials. Our focus is on meaningful outcomes that enhance students’ critical and creative thinking skills, preparing them for future academic and professional success

A comprehensive evaluation framework will be used to measure the schema’s effectiveness. This will include observational assessments, standardised tests and qualitative feedback, ensuring a holistic understanding of its impact on children’s development.

Continuous monitoring and periodic reviews will be conducted to ensure the schema exceeds the National Curriculum needs. By analysing qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods data, we will measure the schema’s success in fostering critical and creative thinking in young learners.

Subjectivity of Thought

Subjectivity of thought

…refers to the development of a child’s ability to understand and interpret their own thoughts, emotions, and the thoughts and emotions of others.

Infancy

Infancy (0-2 years):

Infants are primarily focused on sensory experiences and basic needs. They begin to differentiate between themselves and the external world. While they might not fully understand their own thoughts and emotions, they react to them through facial expressions, body language and crying.

Early Childhood

Early Childhood (2-6 years):

This stage is marked by the development of symbolic thinking and language. Chn start to understand that their thoughts can be represented by words and symbols. They may engage in egocentric thinking, where they struggle to see things from others’ perspectives. Their understanding of emotions also becomes more nuanced and they can label basic emotions in themselves and others.

Middle Childhood

Middle Childhood (6-11 years):

Cognitive development becomes more sophisticated during this period. Chn start to grasp the idea that others can have different thoughts, feelings and beliefs. They begin to understand the concept of perspective-taking and can consider multiple viewpoints. Their emotional vocabulary expands, and they become better at identifying and expressing their own emotions and understanding the emotions of others.

Adolescence

Adolescence (12-18 years):

Adolescents experience significant changes in cognitive, emotional and social domains. They develop more abstract thinking abilities, allowing them to ponder complex concepts and hypothetical situations. They become more self-conscious and introspective, exploring their identities and values. They also gain a deeper understanding of others’ emotions and can engage in more empathetic and perspective-taking behaviour.
