Independent Learning

Independent learning 

At Beacon High, we endeavour to use evidence-informed practice and research in order to provide the most effective types of learning tasks to advance our students’ overall progress and attainment. 

Evidence suggests that the most effective forms of independent learning should relate, as far as possible, to the learning completed during lessons as well as being an integral part of the curriculum rather than an ‘add-on.’

As a result, our independent learning tasks are based on evidence-informed strategies, currently used within the classroom, to develop students’ self regulation and metacognition skills  with reference to the EEF Metacognition and Self-regulation: Evidence Review, 2020.

SATCHEL ONE

Satchel One is a digital platform where students, parents and carers can check their child’s Behaviour points and Achievements. Any Independent Learning may be set on here. However, the expectation that learning is clearly outlined on your child’s individual subject Google Classrooms.

Students no longer need their individual login details as the site is paired with their Beacon High Gmail account. If parents would like to request a login, please email Pauline Tobierre, Assistant Headteacher, for a request which should include their child’s full name: pauline.tobierre@beaconhigh.org
