3. HEALTH WARNING Importance Of Being Earnest: Lady Bracknell. I have always been of the opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing. Which do you know? Jack. I know nothing, Lady Bracknell. Lady Bracknell. I am pleased to hear it. I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance….The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.

4. SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT APPLYING ENTERPRISE TO A SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT MODEL Shared values & beliefs Clear goals Instructional Leadership A common mission Emphasis on Learning A climate conducive to learning Frequent monitoring of student progress High expectations Teacher collegiality & development Instructional and curriculum focus Parental & community involvement & support Positive student behaviour Recognition & incentives Physical environments Student involvement & responsibility

5. Where does enterprise fit in? Enterprise is a way of life. It is something we do automatically, without conscious thought. Enterprising schools are produced by the actions of all pupils and staff, each and every day.

14. Key Stage 3 Workshops (Yrs 7, 8 & 9) Every tutor set in KS3 – morning workshop in Enterprise Learning These mornings are about giving students the skills to be enterprising when they come back into class It’s not about making connections with specific lessons – it’s about pupils confronting any task or solving any problem in a creative, enterprising way The more fun it is and the less it appears academic, the more creative and enterprising the students are Finally when they confront a task in the classroom, that positive experience informs what they do

We were asked to design a poster to show what makes an effective learner, as a team, I think we worked brilliantly.. We learnt how to work with other people who we didn’t know. I think we organised ourselves really well. Teamwork is really important. I think the morning was great …..
