Study Skills

Mission

At Barnhill, we encourage lifelong learning and are committed to empowering our students in their learning journey. We use the latest research in cognitive science and memory to provide students with the necessary tools to achieve their very best.

What is the purpose of our study skills 'Learning to Learn' programme?

Our Study Skills programme is designed to unlock students’ capacity and understand how their brain works when learning. Through the carefully sequenced programme, students will learn to harness their skills and use these tools to study effectively, build their confidence and become better independent learners. The brain learns most pieces of information through examples and repetition. As teachers, we can significantly influence this learning process when we explicitly identify and praise students who use effective revision techniques. This consistent classroom reinforcement plays an integral role in this 'learning to learn' journey and development of routines.
