• Enquiry based learning: Big Bright Ideas puts students at the centre of their own education. The process begins with a real-world problem or challenge and the teacher acts as a facilitator, guiding the students to identify their own questions, and then seek information, working together to find solutions.
• Learning Situations: The Big Project every term is carefully staged so that students collaborate together to define what they need to know, carry out research, plan and present depending on their individual strengths. The Community Task in every unit is a further opportunity to extend lessons with authentic aims for the wider community. 
• Global citizenship: Big Bright Ideas series raise the students’ awareness of being part of a global community by helping them to develop an awareness of the people around them and in the wider world, and gain an insight into their culture.
• Continuous assessment: Full assessment package with termly exams plus the Active Learning Kit with iProgress Check and Learning Record, which encourage students to learn independently.
