Our Approach
Teaching & Learning at Eastbourne Primary School
At Eastbourne Primary School, we approach teaching and learning through a consistent, evidence-informed whole-school approach. Our teaching practices are guided by our Instructional Model, which supports high expectations, explicit teaching, student engagement and strong learning routines across all classrooms.
Retrieval & Fluency
Students regularly revisit previously learned skills and knowledge to strengthen understanding, confidence and long-term memory.
Engagement Norms
Shared engagement routines such as active listening, partner discussion and whole-class participation strategies help create focused and supportive learning environments.
What This Looks Like in Our Classrooms
Consistent Learning Routines
Students experience consistent classroom entry and exit routines across the school to support calm transitions, readiness to learn and emotional regulation.
Explicit Teaching
Teachers clearly model new learning through an “I do, We do, You do” approach, providing students with guidance, practice and opportunities for independence.
