Thinking Skills – Drive Team

At school we have a dedicated “Cognitive Drive Team” that has been formed to promote the use of thinking skills and strategies across school. The drive team includes a range of people involved across the school including pupils, teaching staff, non-teaching staff and governors. This is to ensure that everyone at the school is represented thus promoting ownership.

Cognitive Drive Team

Mr Cuthbertson – Head Teacher
Mrs Harnaman – Deputy Head
