Learning is not a spectator sport
It is our belief that Learning should be challenging, fun and active. At Debden Park, the learner is at the centre of each lesson. Students have to, investigate, discover, and cooperate in their learning. They then have to demonstrate and apply their new found knowledge. Finally they have to evaluate their understanding, set themselves goals and challenges. All of this takes careful planning and cooperation from and between teachers.
In order to create outstanding learning Debden Park is dedicated to high standards, innovative and engaging teaching, reflective practice and continued professional development in a environment that supports, challenges and holds everyone to account.
