Developing skills through problem-based learning

We believe that this programme will help provide pupils with a range of skills. The problems that they will look at will be based on the principles of authentic (real World) problems that enable pupils to work independently and be creative. They will be challenging problems with answers that require reflection and critical analysis of options.
