The Light of Learning Framework
Teaching, Learning and Assessment
The Light of Learning
We have worked with other OLOG trust schools to develop a Teaching Learning and Assessment Framework. Using research based evidence we have defined what excellent practices are in all areas and when you walk into every classroom at St Helen’s you will be able to see how these 10 chosen principles are in action for children every day.

Please see the link here to view our Teaching and Learning Framework called ‘The Light of Learning’.
The Light of Learning Framework Structure
Spark - Evidence based research sparks the Light of Learning. Each area is linked to educational research.

Ignite - The spark ignites the Light of Learning and provides a clear set of strategies for staff to use in the classroom.

Illuminate - The Light of Learning is illuminated through high quality and accessible professional development
(Please see our Staff Development Page)
Reflect - Research, strategies and professional development is effective when it is child centred the impact has a positive reflection on outcomes for all pupils.
