Educating In The Classroom: Teaching And Learning

Classroom Environment Relationships are at the heart of our classrooms and are central to our approach to teaching and learning. In the Antrim Grammar School community, every individual child is known. Teachers actively foster an atmosphere of mutual respect, in which learning can thrive. Knowledge Progression In every subject, a pupil’s learning journey is carefully mapped to ensure knowledge progression as they move through the school. A range of classroom activities, allow pupils to develop skills and capabilities for life. Research-Informed Our teaching and learning methods are informed by cutting edge research to find the most effective ways to support the learning and retention of knowledge. We use this research to equip pupils with the tools to manage their learning and revision as they move up the school. Online Learning We are not bound by the borders of the classroom, with all pupils using the Google Classroom platform in every subject. This allows for a seamless blend between in-school and home learning.

LESSONS WERE CHARACTERISED BY EXCELLENT WORKING RELATIONSHIPS, THE TEACHERS’ REALISTICALLY HIGH EXPECTATIONS OF THE PUPILS AND PURPOSEFUL ENGAGEMENT IN LEARNING.
