Approach to Learning
"I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether you're a musician, a writer, an athlete or a businessman, there is no getting around it. If you do, you'll win; if you don't, you won't.“
- Bruce Jenner (Olympic Gold Medalist, Decathlon)

I do the work because I have to I do not stick at tasks when they get difficult I find it hard to get started on a task as I am
easily distracted I need constant attention from my teacher to
keep me on task I am not that bothered about the presentation
of my work I only act on feedback if I know my teacher is
going to check it I am not interested in taking on challenging
tasks
Excellent Learner

I try a range of available methods and strategies to help me solve problems
I persist with work even when it gets difficult I only ask my teacher to suggest another way of
doing something or get feedback on my own method I take real care and pride when presenting work I am always looking for ways in which I can improve
and learn I love challenging tasks and am happy to work
outside school time to improve further I care more about improving myself and learning
than my marks as I don’t see them as the ‘be all and end all’
