Naace Strategic Conference 2007

Mark Bennison, Deputy Head, Westminster Academy

Embracing the RSA 21st century competency-based curriculum, learning is integrated and thematic; moving from the yearly theme of community, through global citizenship to enterprise in the first 3 years (KS3). Tutoring is vertical, e-learning embedded, through their Connetix Learning Environment; at its heart, an individual learning plan for all students.

Ina secondary school whose catchment is probably the most diverse in the UK; 75% of students are EAL, 35 main languages are spoken, Westminster Academy cannot help but embrace the agenda of global citizenship and has as a core vision, the importance of preparing its young people for a perspective which is global; economically, socially and technologically. In this session, Mark Introduces “school for a global future” showing how, working closely with organisations – MirandaNet and iNET – the global citizenship agenda comes to life.
