The key findings went on to state that the 'pupils' attitudes to learning are consistently positive', reporting that 'they show initiative, independence and leadership in their learning', and 'articulately communicate their ideas, views and feelings, listen attentively to others, read avidly and skilfully express themselves when writing or during discussion'.
