Meridian Community Primary School & Nursery
Learning Powers
Did you know we all have secret learning powers?
At Meridian Primary School we believe that learning is not fixed and that everybody can grow. With time, effort, practice and input all children can achieve. We seek to encourage all children to develop a Growth Mindset which values effort and perseverance, rather than a Fixed Mindset which concentrates on ability. Children are taught about learning powers and these are referred to inside the classroom as well as on the playground and around the school. Our learning powers help us all to become better learners.
As stated in our vision “picking the children up, dusting them off, so they are ready to go again” and our learning powers are what they need to get up!
