Global Learning

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At Whiston Willis, Global Learning plays a central role in our teaching and learning and we are proud to have achieved the full International School Award in July 2019. Since then, we have worked to develop our school vision, values, policies and curriculum to further embed our international ethos across all areas. Our curriculum, ethos and international activities all dovetail to educate pupils about the wider world, other cultures and places and to deepen their perspective. All staff are fully committed to supporting a key vision of developing outward-looking pupils with high levels of academic excellence and social intelligence, eager to have a positive impact on their own lives and those of other people around them and beyond. Pupils at Whiston Willis are constantly encouraged and supported to consider wider issues and to engage in, find out about and positively influence the world around them. We have completely redesigned our curriculum to ensure that international themes and those of the Sustainable Development Goals run through everything we do.

We place a high priority on '21st century' or deep learning skills which include:

  • ways of working: communication and collaboration
  • ways of thinking: critical thinking, problem solving, creativity and innovation, learning to learn and metacognition
  • tools for working: information literacy, information and communication technology (ICT) literacy
  • ways of living in the world: global citizenship and civic responsibility, including cultural awareness and competence
