The Ladybridge Trivium
Ladybridge has a unique ethos and a ‘Trivium’ educational philosophy structured around three core pillars. We aim to provide a balanced education that prepares our learners not only for successful academic progress but also to become ‘Ladybridge Rich’: well-rounded, confident and capable young people who are prepared to make a positive impact and become good citizens. A simple summary of the Trivium is given below:
- KNOWLEDGE – Learn something new from an expert, this includes experts beyond school
- EXPLORATION – Debate, discuss, form your own ideas and gain authentic, real world
experiences
- COMMUNICATION – Communicate your ideas to others, and perform publicly, in different ways
to a variety of audiences
Our Project Trivium approach is a feature of high-quality project-based learning, which often entails:
- A guiding question and hook
- A clear purpose with an authentic outcome that has an impact on others
- Educational visits / experiences and working with experts from outside of school
- Links to other subject areas and / or links to the real world
- Core and hinterland knowledge mapped out at the start (including knowledge that might not be on the specification or national curriculum)
- Feedback opportunities
- A final exhibition of learning
