Term on term, year on year, a BLP school breeds young people who are more curious, more willing to take a risk and give it a go, more imaginative, more creative, more thoughtful, more ready, willing and able to learn with and through others. It’s developing this adventurous spirit that counts’.

The Key Principles
* It is a learning culture that encourages children and teachers to become better learners
* It allows children to approach difficulties in learning without fear of failure
* It allows children to take small steps within learning
* It develops confidence
* It is not additional to teaching but should be grounded within everyday teaching and learning
* It gives clear labels for the children to use and develop understanding of learning processes
