Thinking Skills

The opportunity to exercise thinking skills and learn how to structure thinking is of vital importance in today’s society. It is no longer sufficient for students to demonstrate an ability to recall information and pass tests. It is the creative application of that learning which demonstrates a student’s ability most eloquently.

At Danesfield Manor School all pupils are involved in philosophical debate through our excellent Life Skills programme, developing vocabulary and communication skills which enabling them to articulate their thinking clearly. In addition pupils are involved in practical problem-solving activities, developing team work and negotiation skills as well applying the skills they have learned in other areas of the curriculum.
