How we engage with difficult to reach pupils.

The Seven Learning Styles

• Visual (spatial):You prefer using pictures, images, and spatial understanding.

• Aural (auditory-musical): You prefer using sound and music. • Verbal (linguistic): You prefer using words, both in speech and

writing. • Physical (kinesthetic): You prefer using your body, hands and sense

of touch. • Logical (mathematical): You prefer using logic, reasoning and

systems. • Social (interpersonal): You prefer to learn in groups or with other

people. • Solitary (intrapersonal): You prefer to work alone and use self-study.

Pastoral care team

“ I use parental involvement. I will ring parents and arrange for them to come in, so that we can work in partnership in order to keep their child engaged.

We use small achievable targets, which have been negotiated by myself, the parent and the child.”

Rewards/punishmentsIntrinsic motivation refers to motivation that comes from inside an individual

rather than from any external or outside rewards, such as money or grades.

Rewards/Punishment

Extrinsic motivation refers to motivation that comes from outside an individual. The motivating factors are external, or outside, rewards such as money or grades. These rewards provide satisfaction and pleasure that the task itself may not.

Learning Zone Boards

How we engage with difficult to reach pupils.

• If a child feels detached from learning in school for any reason. We also provide a class bubble box, which gives the child a confidential forum for him/her to discuss why they may be feeling unengaged.

Reception

School Council

Finally I thought it was important to mention our school council.

“We really enjoy our new topics and how we work with other children in other classes. We like to get into the wow zone as we like to achieve our stickers and we love the idea of being able to get our Hinguar Star!”
