  1. Vangeboskolen- seen through an english visitors eyes • Autumn 2010 we had visitors from Northampton School for Girls, UK • During their visit, they should observe and make a presentation • The following 9 slides are a description of our school and they express some of the thoughts, our visitors would bring back to Northampton

  2. THANKYOU

  3. Reflections • Responsibility • Trust • Community • Warmth • Nurture • Respect • Student engagement • Building self esteem, self belief • Emotionally healthy

  4. Independent learning Are we expecting staff to do this but not giving them the space and opportunity to plan it? Meeting pattern and focus How can we make challenges interesting enough for a student to solve without a teacher? Use of the VLE - online learning Opportunity is there with our Music and Applied specialism and Applied Days

  5. Community SDP focus development of the learning communities Bringing the place together and increasing the sense of belonging Relationships is the key Practical ways to support this - wall tiles relating to the identity of their school, photos from the top of the buildings staff photos, whole staff Opportunities for younger students to interact and be supported by older students (in addition to the 6th form)

  6. Nurture SDP focus – building self esteem individualised care Cushions, bean bags , Headphones ,making use of corridors - making it ok to sit on the floor Creative space with seating areas Creating a cocoon place within the library

  7. Trust Choose your conflict Language we use to emphasize this more often Build this into teacher talk Feed into curriculum development Dialogue in mentoring

  8. Action plan Sow the seed wherever we can Choose people we know will be receptive Listen to their reactions and thoughts Have an opportunity to reflect together Be less afraid Take this ethos and way of working with students and apply it to our way of working with staff

  9. Bigger things Curriculum change Extended learning aided by creative timetabling Applied days music specialism Visit other schools Development of online learning Creative with space – comfortable places to work with our vulnerable youngsters

  10. Questions We already have human scale values at the heart of our ethos. How can we embed this further and deeper and wider and stronger ? How do we keep the balance? “You can’t teach someone to be human on paper “
