Learning Skills at Yarrells

At Yarrells, we are committed to delivering exceptional teaching and learning experiences that enable every child to achieve their very best. Our goal is to ensure that, by the time they transition to senior school and beyond, our pupils are confident, capable, and ready to embrace the challenges of life as young adults—academically, personally, socially, culturally, and spiritually.

Embedded within our broad and stimulating curriculum are essential learning skills designed to nurture positive attitudes and behaviours, equipping children to succeed and thrive in an ever-changing world. We celebrate effort and achievement, encouraging every child to take pride in their progress and to feel fully prepared for the next stage of their educational journey.

Every child at Yarrells benefits from an engaging curriculum that sparks curiosity and inspires independent thinking. Central to this approach are our six core skills:

• Communicating

• Leadership

• Collaboration

• Independence

• Thinking & Learning

• Reviewing & Improving

These skills are woven throughout all areas of school life. Children have regular opportunities to develop and demonstrate them, reflect on their learning, and use feedback to inform their growth.

The Yarrells Skills foster teamwork and collaboration, encourage flexibility and adaptability in thinking, and develop excellent communication skills. Above all, they instil a lifelong love of learning—preparing children not just for the next step, but for a bright and successful future.
