Thinking School

Amesbury Archer Primary School has been working towards becoming a ‘Thinking School’ over the past four years. This means that we are explicitly teaching children about how we learn best and our aim is to provide the children with the tools needed to be successful, lifelong learners.

The latest initiative and part of this journey includes a focus on Habits of Mind. These 16 habits are what successful learners do. These habits will be introduced to the children over the next few years and we will focus on a different habit each term.

2024-2025
Term 1: Responding with Wonderment and Awe
Term 2: Managing Impulsivity
Term 3: Taking Responsible Risks
Term 4: Remaining Open To Continuous Learning
Term 5: Thinking and Communicating with Clarity and Precision 
Term 6: Thinking Flexibly
