The pupils learn frm each ther as well as frm the teacher.
Smetimes the pupils wrk in pairs;smetimes they wrk n individual tasks , and they can d this at their wn speed. They als have sme frmal class teaching when this is suitable. We encurage ur pupils t use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in rder t d this efficiently. An advanced pupil can d advanced wrk:it des nt matter what age the child is.
