Deep Learning Lessons

Deep Learning lessons aim to develop the skills and qualities that the Outwood Grange Academy community have decided everyone needs to learn to become lifelong learners.

We aim to help our students improve the skills and qualities of the Learning Model. The first 10 lessons focus on and build on each individual strand of the Learning Model. Students need to know they will not be expected to demonstrate all of these skills and qualities in year 7, but that they are progressive and as they get older some will come more easily than others and some they will have to work at. 

When all the skills and qualities of the Learning Model have been covered the students will be given two team projects:

-    Project One – Wakefield Past, Present and Future
-    Project Two – Building a School For The Future

These projects are designed to encourage students to access all the skills and qualities of the Learning Model in order to succeed in each project. They will carry out independent research, set their own learning outcomes for these lessons and set homework for their group.   Students will also work on literacy, numeracy and ICT.


Project One – Wakefield Past, Present and Future

During project one, the students will choose their own team and they will decide how they will present their findings on Wakefield. The students can present their final piece in any way they choose; it could be a song; it could be a piece of art, a sculpture, a building or a garden. Students will be given a deadline for the presentation and will present to their Deep Learning class.

Students will work together to explore:

1. how and when Wakefield was initially established the heritage of the community
2. employment, social and cultural and religious make-up of the community as the decades have gone on
3. the area today
4. how Wakefield will be made up in the future because of the previous processes, and the development that has already begun.
