                                                          You may hear your children talk about being in “The Learning Pit”!

This is a concept developed by James Nottingham and some of you may have heard of this. The Learning Pit is about helping children feel comfortable and secure when faced with new challenges. Our pupils are taught that it is okay to make mistakes and it is okay at times to feel confused or stuck. We aim is to develop resilience and to change the attitude of children who don’t react positively to challenges, by ensuring that a safe atmosphere is apparent in class, removing the fear of failure and also getting them excited by the notion of having a go.
