We certainly live in interesting times with schools increasingly moving centre stage and the end of national prescription and national control...

We need to re-imagine and redesign learning for this new age.
What do we need to do?

• we need to rethink learning time, understanding that more is better;
• we need to rethink our learning places to connect with other provision;
• we need to re-imagine our spaces for learning building on creativity, imagination and enterprise;
• we need to develop collaborative and team based approaches to learning at the heart of our provision;
• we need to build learning webs, learning hubs and learning satellites since small is definitely beautiful;
• we need to rethink teaching and formal learning to maintain excellence and academic rigour;
• we need to develop informal and fun learning to connect with young people's interests and potential;
• we need to create learning places young people love and help them shape provision to better meet their needs;
• we need to create learning places where young people have high self-esteem and feel in control of their own learning.

It's all about brilliant learning in brilliant learning places!
