Becoming a "Super Learner" - Infant School

Being a Brilliant Learner - Our Super Learner Profile

At the Infant School, the ‘Super Learner Profile’ enhances opportunities for our children to develop effective learning behaviours. Through guided reflection, our children are encouraged to consider their own learning behaviours, make links in their learning and become more aware of their own strengths and areas for development. This increases self-confidence and motivation; nurturing a culture of self belief.

The ‘Super Learner Profile’ provides a common language of learning so that the children experience a coherent and consistent vocabulary as they move through the infant school.
