The school sees huge potential in these technologies and embrace IT as a powerful tool for the kind of personalised learning that not only allows learners immediate and direct access to information but also fosters communication and debate, and perhaps more importantly provides a mechanism for recording and tracking achievements.

6 Creating Enjoyable Environments

Nexus recognises that everybody is different. Everybody learns at different speeds. Everybody has different motivations. Different points of reference. Different knowledge. Different aspirations. And so we’re always going to learn as individuals within the larger social group.

Every learner’s journey is one that is personal to them, and the school's challenge is to identify what it is about each individual learner that helps them learn better and then tailor the teaching to that learner.

In moving towards this ideal Nexus views its role as being leaders of students’ learning experiences, rather than simply teaching stuff to young people. Because education is a social phenomenon, significant amounts of learning is done in groups, but the learning itself is a personal experience.

The goal is to know the learners: know what they know, and what they don’t know; know what they need to do to get to the next stage or level. Nexus then gives them the tools and resources and equipment that they need to make the next steps.

In this way the learners become independent, self-regulating learners, who are not reliant on the teacher, but know how to use the teacher as a resource to achieve what they need to achieve.
