Term on term, year on year, a Building Learning Power School breeds young people who are more curious, more willing to take risks and give it a go, more imaginative and creative, more thoughtful, more ready, willing and able to learn with and from others. It s developing this adventurous spirit that counts. --Professor Guy Claxton
