Super Social Learners: The Wormley Way

The Wormley Way involves the school community coming together to try and maximise every child’s learning potential. It’s about developing children as happy, engaged life-long learners; not just good students. It’s about children feeling in control and taking ownership of their own learning.

The aims of our approach is to:

  • Allow children to grow in awareness of themselves and others
  • Equip the children with the knowledge and skills so they can successfully navigate the social world they are a part of
  • Maximise learning potential in school and increase children’s participation and engagement in their families and communities

Putting the child in centre of our approach

 

An important part of our ethos is promoting the idea that children are partners in their learning who have the agency to navigate their future.

Meet The Agent Squad

To teach the children about what it means to be a ‘Super Social Leaner’ we have created The Agent Squad. There are 7 learning agents and 4 wellbeing agents which we consider essential for the ‘Wormley Learner’. Each agent has it’s own story, characteristics and symbols. Each story is told through a short movie. The Agents aim to make it fun and memorable to become a better learner.  Meet The Learning Agents in the ‘Deploy Your Agents’ film.
