Broadening Horizons: Impact

“The Next Practice visits have been superb.  I don’t think I had any INSET last academic year (except some netball courses that took place at the weekend!) so I really appreciated the opportunity to visit other institutions and work with other LeAd’s from Croydon.  I generally came back ‘buzzing’ after each visit.  It was also great to be able to offer these opportunities to 4 of my colleagues who also appreciated being involved.” Angie Preston, Archbishop Tenison’s

5. Good circulation systems for people movement around school

3. Learning experiences outside of school

6. Access for all: lifts, doors, wide corridors

7. More practical learning experiences

9. Relationship building – teaching staff understanding role change

11. Choice – subject, time, technology, extras after school

12. More pre and post school activities (weekend and holidays)

10. Sensory experiences: music in shared school areas, sensory rooms ‘chill out’ zones

13. Flexible approach to time: choice over opening hours, lesson durations, use of school

14. Support, beyond academic, for emotional development, life skills and social issues

15. Social spaces owned by learners: indoor break areas

8. Affordable, healthy school meals: international menus

16. Light, comfort and colour, inspiring learning environment
