Description

Are you passionate about working with those that find making sense of themselves and the world a challenge and want to help them succeed?
Big Picture Doncaster opened in April 2019.

It follows the Big Picture ethos developed in the US which focuses the educational experience of the learner in a bespoke and tailored way.

One of the key aims of the provision is to develop the young person's skills and abilities through the learning that they complete in order to help them lead fulfilling adult lives and be able to contribute positively to their community.

We are led by three principles of relevance, relationships and rigour

At Big Picture we focus on 'one learner at a time' and the work they do is shaped by their interests, talents and needs.

It has a close focus on real world learning and makes connections to the outside world.

Rather than follow a curriculum model that is generic for all learners we start with the personal development of the young person and develop readiness for learning, before exploring their interests through project work that draws on the national curriculum and beyond as and when it is relevant and useful to exploring the learner driven work.

Advisory Assistants
Our behaviour mentors are a guide.

They support our advisors to enable children to learn how to be, how to learn, and how to open up and explore themselves and their own curriculum.

Advisories are a space where a relatively small number of learners from local secondary schools work on personal and social development over a twelve to eighteen week period.

They enable young people to foster meaningful and authentic relationships and our assistants are part of the team along with our advisors in modelling behaviours and developing self esteem, and the attributes, skills and knowledge needed to be successful in a child's next steps in education and life.
