Overview
The personal, learning and thinking skills (PLTS) provide a framework for describing the qualities and skills needed for success in learning and life.

The PLTS framework embraces: social and emotional aspects of learning, employability, responsible citizenship, enquiry skills and creativity, self-direction and independent study, reflection on learning (learning to learn and assessment for learning).

The framework comprises six groups of skills:

  • independent enquirers

  • creative thinkers

  • reflective learners

  • team workers

  • self-managers

  • effective participators

As a school it has been agreed that we will focus on one PLT each half term (though this is not to suggest that they should only be addressed during the half term focus!). The purpose of this is to achieve a consistent approach and shared language across curriculum areas. Each PLT will be address via learn to learn lessons and in PSHE lessons. Departments will then reinforce these in lessons. A web page has been developed for each PLT (see below) with an outline of each PLT, suggestions as to how each can be addressed by curriculum areas, common language to use when addressing PLTs and an outline of what the pupils will experience in L2L lessons and tutorial sessions.
