Students, staff and visitors to CHS will have noticed a change along the corridor by the main hall. Our post-Covid Rebuilding 'Jenga' wall has now been replaced with our wonderful CHS Growth Tree, featuring the eight behaviours that research suggests young people should acquire to support their lifelong learning:

  • Curiosity - wondering and questioning
  • Determination - sticking with challenges
  • Attention - locking your mind onto learning
  • Imagination - creatively exploring possibilities
  • Thinking - working out things accurately
  • Reflection - standing back and taking stock of your learning
  • Organisation - managing your own learning
  • Socialising - working with others to enable learning

Curiosity is this focus for this term and we'll be encouraging children to feed their curiosity, wonder why things are how they are and ask lots of questions. We've even added Curiosity to our list of R3 Recognition categories!

If you want to know why, just ask!
