Droxford Junior School

Skills for Learning, Creativity, Vision, Values & Aims Our children will be taught and encouraged to use their Skills for Learning every day. We feel that these positive characteristics and habits of mind are not only important to display now but also in secondary school and vital in later lives and careers.

They are all essential components to overcome any challenge life can pose and will help shape independent thinking. To be Tenacious : is being resilient; to persevere; showing grit and determination and being positive in times of adversity. Tenacity helps with problem solving and overcoming challenges physical and mental. Tenacious people share their tenacious spirit.

Being Creative : helps to solve problems and ensure we know there is more than one way to do this; creativity is personal and individual; is literal (linked to the arts) and can be about invention and enterprise. Creative people are resourceful and can share this resourcefulness.

Being Curious is very important; when we are inquisitive and testing new theories; it is about asking questions to find new learning; is about discovery; being open-minded and positive and being courageous understanding new learning comes from mistakes. Curiosity is about being proactive not passive!
