Learning Powers

The purpose of using Learning Powers is to empower pupils’ learning and build resourceful, reflective, reciprocal, and resilient learners.

At Riddlesden St Mary’s we use a set of Learning Powers that are used from Nursery to Year 6. Each Learning Power has its own teddy which is given to children throughout the day to show recognition of them showing the learning powers expectations.

Below you can learn all about our Learning Powers and their individual characteristics.
