STEM learning doesn't have to happen inside the classroom! Waulud Primary will develop an outdoor creative area where pupils can build, experiment, investigate and solve problems through hands-on activities. 🧱🌿

“I can't.”
What happens when a pupil stops believing their actions can change the outcome?
And how can schools help them move from:
“I can't.”
to
“I'll have a go.”

Understanding learned helplessness is one of the areas explored in Challenging Education's Thinking Differently for Disadvantaged Learners programme.
Because sometimes the first step towards achievement is believing that success is possible.

What changes when schools start thinking differently?
It's not always a new intervention.
Sometimes it's a change in expectations.
A different conversation.
A better understanding of a pupil.
A challenge to an assumption.
Or a decision to look at the evidence differently.
1/2
Sustainable improvement often begins with changing the way we think.

Starting secondary school can bring new challenges. St Julian’s Primary will provide essential equipment, revision materials and information about support services to help disadvantaged learners feel prepared and confident for September. 🎒

School is about so much more than what happens in the classroom.
From trips and celebrations to uniforms, food and fundraising, the cost of taking part can create barriers for some pupils.

The 5-minute equity challenge
Think about your school's next enrichment opportunity.
Who is most likely to take part?
Who might be less likely to access it?
And what could you change to make participation more equitable?
Same opportunity doesn't always mean equal access.

What's one school practice you've changed because you realised it wasn't equitable?
Maybe it was homework.
Assessment.
Attendance.
Behaviour.
Transition.
Or something completely different.
We'd love to hear what you've learned.

When a small grant creates a bigger opportunity…
The Achieve Equity Foundation supports schools to develop innovative projects designed to improve outcomes and opportunities for disadvantaged learners.
One example is Higham Lane School's literacy project ...

What does “Thinking Differently” actually mean?
For us, it's about looking beyond the obvious.
It's about understanding disadvantage.
Maintaining high expectations.
Considering equity in everyday school life.
1/2
Thinking carefully about assessment, attendance, transition and family engagement.
And, importantly, asking whether what we're doing is actually making a difference.
Because good intentions are important.
Impact matters too.
