Thinking Skills

We are proud of our Thinking Skills initiative that has been pioneered in the Junior School to develop and enhance our pupils' ability to be logical, critical and creative thinkers. A wide range of transferable thinking skills are taught through lessons across the curriculum and weekly thinking skills lessons offer a further opportunity to practise skills such as decision making, lateral thinking, and mindmapping.

The girls are encouraged to gain a deeper understanding of their own preferred learning styles and to gain familiarity with a range of study and revision strategies. Lessons continue to focus on encouraging those habits of mind – such as curiosity, resilience and tenacity – that can play a significant role in a child's academic success and personal happiness. This unique initiative extends throughout the school, with lessons and courses planned for pupils from the Nursery up to Sixth Form.
