The PTI wish to celebrate schools that share our values; we believe long-term commitment to embedding The PTI philosophy into educational practice creates real impact. We want to recognise the courage and initiative of schools who empower inspirational teaching and subject specific pedagogy.
"Milburn Primary School engaged with The PTI to enhance the quality and effectiveness of our curriculum, ensuring that it provides a well-rounded, enriching experience for our students. We recognised the need to foster a learning environment that not only meets the statutory requirements but also inspires curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. The PTI's expertise in curriculum design and leadership support provided us with the resources and guidance to achieve these goals.
By collaborating with The PTI, we were able to refine our curriculum to ensure it was both academically rigorous and engaging. Through tailored workshops and leadership training, our staff gained a deeper understanding of how to align teaching strategies with clear learning outcomes, promoting a more cohesive and purposeful approach. This professional development empowered our teachers to adopt innovative teaching methods, integrate cross-curricular themes, and design lessons that cater to the diverse needs of our pupils.
The impact on our curriculum development was profound. The PTI encouraged us to move beyond traditional methods and adopt a more flexible, inquiry-based approach. We revised our curriculum to be more dynamic, with greater emphasis on developing childrens' skills in problem-solving, collaboration, and communication. Our planning now includes opportunities for deeper learning, encouraging pupils to make connections between subjects and apply their knowledge in real-world contexts.
As a result of our engagement with The PTI, Milburn Primary School has seen improved outcomes in pupil engagement, as well as an enhanced sense of ownership over their learning. Teachers feel more confident in delivering a curriculum that is both challenging and stimulating, while students benefit from a richer, more stimulating educational experience. The PTI’s support has undoubtedly played a key role in transforming our approach to curriculum design and its implementation across the school."
