How do we support our boys to become confident and capable learners?

This programme will explore the differences between boys and girls, including brain research, physical development and learning styles, in order to understand the specific needs of our ‘ boys’, who are often at risk of underachieving.

A wide range of strategies will be explored in order to engage and interest boys so that we can meet their unique needs. Throughout this self-evaluative process you will take into account:

• An equitable offer to both genders regarding their learning

• Staff’s underpinning knowledge about how boys learn

• Teaching and learning that supports boys in meeting their potential

• Inspiring environments where resources, opportunities and experiences fascinate boys

This will be done through self-evaluation of the effectiveness of your environment, the role of the practitioner, working with parents, teaching and learning, interactions, documentation and displays, assessment and tracking, EYFS leadership and management and the use of visitors and male role models.

Once an application has been received, further details will be provided, including information on any learning and development activities required to support completion of this award.
