Learning behaviours: The Learning Superheroes!

Learning behaviours are something we are all familiar with, but to children they can seem abstract concepts. Headteacher Heather Madsen explains how they overcame this challenge at Red Oak Primary

I strongly believe that the success of this school, which has travelled a long way to achieve the best academic results it has on record, is the result of a burning drive to ensure the notion of George Bernard Shaw, who said: “What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child.”

When I first walked through the doors at Fen Park Primary School four years ago, there were a number of changes that needed to be made. Since then, a lot has happened; we have changed our name from Fen Park to Red Oak Primary School, and we are now operating within the Active Learning Trust.
