| THE TEACHING STAFF |
|
"A
teacher," noted the American philosopher Henry Adams, "affects
eternity;
he can never tell where his influence stops." Our teachers
are
the heart of Wickham Court School. They have been selected for
their caring approach to the needs of the individual student,
and for their
dedication
to the ethos of a school that places learning at the pinnacle
of human endeavour.
Our
teachers are certainly expert in their subjects and disciplines.
They
are also here because they like children. This is particularly
evident in the encouragement they provide - to think, to question,
to debate, even
to
take chances. And perhaps most significantly, they encourage our
children
to strive. They do this not only by making the classroom an
exciting
place but also by being available to provide extra help or
enrichment.
No wonder that children at Wickham Court see their
teachers
as friends.
Teachers
at Wickham also understand that effective learning is not a
one-way
street. Rather, it involves a partnership between teacher and
student and parent. Communication is therefore vital. During the
course of the academic year, our children receive one report and
several
'Open
Evening's' are held, though parents are welcome to make an appointment
at any time for details of their children's progress in all
areas
of education.
