We found that working this way that there's higher engagement from the students. It gives them the space and the time to be able to work at a higher level and we found that over the time that we've been working this way that being able to move children to different areas to work with different teachers, it actually becomes a preferred way of operating for them. They manage themselves very well in this environment because they know that the environment and the way we've organised for their learning actually matches them and not the other way around.

Children who have choice over where they work and what space they work, whether they work on their own in a solo station or whether they work collaboratively at tables like this, that also gives them choice and decision making in terms of their learning that best suits their learning style, so particularly in the senior area where i work their got a lot of responsibility for where they learn, how they learn and what spaces they learn in. The flexible learning spaces also gives them that ownership over their learning.

Being back we have over the years has just been extraordinary, especially those who have been in the old system for so many years, thoroughly enjoying the journey.

I think open learning is better because it allows you to shine as an individual, not to be just part of a group and to get individual attention.
