Learning to Learn

At CAN Schools’ Federation we believe that:

Children learn through play and first hand experiences that are important and of interest to them.
Children learn best when they are taught by well-qualified, skilful, sensitive adults who have a strong sense of fun and who see themselves as learners too!
Children learn best when they feel safe, secure, valued and respected.
Outdoor play and exploration is just as important as indoor play.
Parents are prime educators and we need to work in close partnership with them.
Children should be encouraged to explore and experiment, to make choices, think about their actions and learn from the results.
Children succeed by developing a love of learning, curiosity and developing a sense of achievement.
