Any attempt to raise standards in our schools must be focused on learning in the classroom and the wider environment. Continued and sustained improvement is dependent upon improving the quality of teaching and learning that is taking place on a daily basis.

At Gainsborough the expectation is that all pupils are provided with high quality learning experiences that lead to consistently high levels of pupil achievement. By adopting a whole school approach to teaching and learning across our partnership, we aim:

• to provide consistency of teaching and learning across all our schools.
• to enable teachers to teach as effectively as possible.
• to enable children to learn as efficiently as possible.
• to give children the skills they require to become effective lifelong learners.
• to provide an inclusive education for all children.
• to learn from each other, through the adoption of a collaborative, enquiry based approach to teaching and learning, where good practice is shared.
