The Downend Lesson

Our vision is that teaching at Downend School is transformational; it inspires curiosity and challenges students to think, reflect and to work hard.  Students enjoy their learning and are enquiring and resilient in their pursuit of knowledge and development of skills. We want to develop a community where everyone has a passion for learning.

In order to achieve this vision, we have a shared language for learning, which we call The Downend Lesson, which aims to provide shared routines and lesson expectations for all in order to create consistency of student experience and implement what we know are the ‘best bets’ to develop student knowledge and understanding.
