Learning Leaders

A learning leader's role is to support a student’s academic achievement through the accurate use of data and a wide range of creative intervention strategies.

The Learning Leader role is an integral part of securing positive academic outcomes for the school.

At The North School our Learning Leaders are dedicated to supporting your child's academic journey. Think of them as key navigators who oversee and champion your child's progress throughout their time with us.

Each of our six Learning Leaders works closely with students across different year groups. Their primary role is to ensure every student is making the best possible academic progress. They achieve this by:

• Monitoring Progress: Learning Leaders regularly analyse academic data and work directly with teachers to track your child's attainment and identify any areas where extra support might be needed.
• Targeted Support: From Key Stage 3 all the way through to GCSEs, Learning Leaders collaborate with teachers to pinpoint concerns early. They can then provide tailored support, such as study skills workshops, revision programmes, and  intervention.
• Parent Partnership: Learning Leaders are also here for you! They host one-to-one and group meetings to offer advice on managing exam pressures and effective revision techniques. 

Our Learning Leaders are committed to helping every student build confidence, develop effective study habits, and achieve their full academic potential. 

If you have any concerns regarding your child’s academic progress, please feel free to contact the appropriate Learning Leader;
