…. from learning and teaching at Garnock Community Campus
The Situation
At Garnock Community Campus, learning and teaching are at the heart of everything we do. We want every young person to experience high-quality lessons, strong relationships with staff, and consistent expectations in every class, every day.
What We’ll Do
- Follow our agreed whole-school approach: Connect – Learn – Check – Reflect
- Ensure lessons are calm, purposeful, and well-structured
- Use feedback and questioning to check understanding and challenge thinking
- Provide consistent routines so your child knows what to expect in every classroom
- Review the quality of learning regularly through observation, learner voice, and staff reflection
How We’ll Support Your Child
- Build positive, respectful relationships where learners feel valued
- Set high expectations for effort, behaviour, and progress
- Support learning through clear explanations, scaffolded tasks, and feedback
- Adapt learning where needed to meet individual needs
- Encourage reflection so learners know how to improve and grow
How You Can Support at Home
- Talk to your child about what they’re learning – ask them to explain something new
- Encourage good routines for homework and study
- Celebrate effort, not just outcomes – we all learn by making mistakes
- Contact us if your child is struggling or unsure – we’ll work together to help
- Reinforce our shared values: Kindness, Growth, Determination, and Ambition
