Grenville School: Nurturing Minds as a Thinking School

Grenville School embodies the essence of a Thinking School, where every member is dedicated to thoughtful, reflective, critical, and creative thinking. Our commitment is evident in the shared enthusiasm of staff and students towards cognitive learning.

The accreditation process, guided by the 14 criteria set by Bob Burden, Director of the Cognitive Education Centre at the University of Exeter, ensures our dedication to cognitive development. From formal commitments by the headteacher and governors to specialized training for the cognitive education coordinator and staff, Grenville School actively integrates cognitive learning into its curriculum.

The benefits of being a Thinking School are reflected in the improved attitudes towards learning, enhanced performance, and overall satisfaction among our students. We foster a positive, caring, and creative atmosphere, preparing students with essential skills for higher education and future careers.

As proud members of the Thinking School community, Grenville School embraces the common purpose of energizing staff, improving engagement and retention, motivating learning, enhancing attendance, and shaping positive behaviors and attitudes among our students.
