Other developments at the school include a revamped computer room where pupils can explore coding, online safety and digital communication; and the introduction of “Cool time” – “Choose our own learning” - where children can access a number of independent educational opportunities through the day, with teacher guidance.
It is an approach widely used in early years settings but Menorah Foundation says it is one of the few primaries that have brought it into key stage one.
Headteacher Holli Hunter said, “Our year 1 and year 2 pupils are thriving. They’re more engaged, more curious and more willing to take ownership of their learning.
"This isn’t just theory, we see the impact every day in how our children approach tasks, collaborate with their peers and talk about what they’re learning.”
