It’s not just what we do in school that matters, but how we do it. Our core purpose is to develop successful, independent learners who Can achieve their potential. Stainburn is a lead practitioner school for SEAL – Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning.

This links in very closely with the Every Child Matters agenda and latterly the Every Child Achieves  agenda and encourages all concerned to ask key questions such as:

• What are we trying to achieve?
• How do we organise our learning?
• How well are we achieving our aims?
