“Benefits are immense, in order to make progress, learners need

to be actively involved and take responsibilities for their learning

They can’t possibly do this if they are dictated to all the time”.

“Students can make positive contributions and comments about teaching and learning as well as teachers” (a teacher)

is also a social element – the opportunities for students to mix with young people from different parts of the town They often have misunderstandings towards each other”.

THE CITY ACADEMY

BRISTOL

LIKING PARTICIPATION TO COURSE CURRICULA

“Here in the City school, first students might not come here

[in the morning] and second it’s so easy to walk away We need

to pay huge effort to stop that happening If they feel they are a

part of something, they are less likely to do that, we need to create

a sense of belonging - a part of that is to include them in decision

making Now some of the students do not leave here even when

the day ends”
