While my years as a debate coach taught me that collaborative learning often enables slow or recalcitrant learners to hide behind the driveanddiscipline of top achievers in a group, it also elicits a need to succeed in students whose learning style requires more hands-on experiences.
In this environment, we will continue to react quickly to changes in market conditions and apply our value based management discipline across the portfolio to drive continued progress toward our long-term goals.
Our reforms: tougher discipline, more rigorous exams, more freedom for headteachers, a more demanding curriculum and higher quality teaching, will drive up standards so our pupils have a first-class education that matches the best in the world.
