This week, we had the opportunity to visit St. Andrew’s RC Primary School to explore their inspiring learning environments designed to support pupil-led learning. It was wonderful to see how their spaces encourage independence, collaboration, and creativity.

A special thank you goes to the pupils at St. Andrew’s, who confidently shared their vast knowledge and deep understanding of how each area supports their learning. Their enthusiasm and ownership of their environment were truly impressive and gave us plenty of ideas to take back to our own school.

We would also like to extend our thanks to Mr Short for his support and for facilitating this visit. Partnership working like this provides valuable opportunities for us to learn from one another and share best practice across schools.

We are excited to use what we learned as we begin our own project to transform an area of our school into a high-quality, pupil-led learning space. This visit has provided valuable insight into how thoughtful design can empower children to take an active role in their learning journey.
