Michaela school

Introduction

Michaela school is a free school located in Brent, northwest London that was founded in 2014 and has since become well-known for its innovative and controversial teaching methods. The school has a strict approach to discipline and an emphasis on academic achievement that has won both praise and criticism from parents, teachers and politicians alike.

Teaching Methods

Michaela school prides itself on its 'no excuses' approach to education, which means that students are expected to behave impeccably at all times, wear their uniform correctly and complete all their work to a high standard. Teachers also follow strict routines and use a variety of teaching strategies, such as 'knowledge organisers' and explicit instruction, to ensure that students receive a thorough grounding in their subjects.

Despite its detractors, Michaela school has achieved impressive results, with pupils consistently outperforming their peers in national exams. The school's founders hope that their approach will inspire more schools to prioritise academic rigour and discipline, and that Michaela will serve as a model for education reform in the UK.
