You are welcome to Nissi Academy, a school where we make the positive difference in your child’s education. Please read on and get acquainted with our educational philosophy. Our Mission is to develop the foundational skills, positive attitude and personal qualities of every learner so they can become active contributors to the global community. We aim for excellence and the highest possible standards for all our pupils. We undertake to include in our approach all those activities which promote moral, social, spiritual, cultural, physical, intellectual and emotional development. A variety of teaching and learning methods is used, with an emphasis on differentiated interactive whole- class teaching. Children are set target for reading, writing and math and progress is monitored regularly. We use assessment for learning techniques, so that children gain an understanding of what a ‘good’ piece of work look like and know how to improve their work. Children are provided with opportunities to apply their learning through problem solving and collaborative working. The curriculum is differentiated to take account of children with different IQ. This can take the form of extension work for Able, Gifted and Talented pupils or work broken down into smaller steps for children with learning difficulties. The national education curriculum is strictly followed, b u t presented in a modern a n d standard setting/ format.
