- We are an expanding school of approximately 640 pupils and provide education for children from the age of three to eleven. The school opened in 1969 and recently celebrated its 40th Anniversary. It is a successful and inclusive school. At the heart of our school life and curriculum is our Mission Statement. It colors all our aims and is reflected in the day-to-day running of our school. The Federation of St Elphege's Catholic Schools will give every child the best possible education because each individual is uniquely created and precious to God. As a Catholic community, guided by the Holy Spirit, we will follow the example of Jesus Christ in all aspects of daily life. With the help of God we will: Develop our children's faith, spirituality, and joy in the love of God. Teach our children to the highest standards thus realizing their potential. Give our children the knowledge, skills, and confidence to succeed and take pride in their achievements. Create a Christian community where we all behave well, have good manners, and learn tolerance and respect for ourselves and others. Prepare our children today to become tomorrow's responsible and independent individuals. Make school a happy, safe, and caring place where we all enjoy learning, work hard and do our best. Create a partnership of love, joy, and high expectations between children, their parents, the staff and the governors, the parish, and the wider community. The Federation is using Focus Education resources to deliver a Creative Curriculum which will challenge the children and ensure that all learners acquire knowledge, understanding, and skills in all non-core subjects as laid down in the new Nation Curriculum for Primary Schools. It is an approach to curriculum planning which is now being used in over 1,000 primary schools in England. The approach is based on securing greater learner involvement in their work. It requires deep thinking and encourages learners to work using a question as to the starting point. It has been described as a curriculum for ‘intelligent schools’. In designing the curriculum, teachers and learners are using a prime learning challenge, expressed as a question, as the starting point. Using the information gained from pre-learning tasks and the school’s context, a series of subsidiary challenges are then planned. Each subsidiary learning challenge is also expressed as a question. Importantly, the learning challenges need to make sense to the learners and be something that is within their immediate understanding. These learning walls provide reminders of learning and help children to develop an understanding of both the knowledge and skills of the focus subject area and the cross-curricular links made throughout the term. These walls develop and adapt to the children’s needs – never static! They display examples of children’s work as well as providing opportunities for the children to review where they have reached in their quest for more information to answer their questions. The Creative Curriculum aims to: Provide a broad and balanced curriculum. Encourages teachers to make learning vivid, real, and meaningful with many first-hand experiences. Build up children’s confidence and motivation to learn through the use of a range of learning and teaching styles. Embed key skills to prepare children for real-life and everyday situations. Provide opportunities to apply knowledge and learning in practical ways Develop an enjoyment in all their learning. Stimulate our children’s natural curiosity and give them the confidence to be curious. Provide ‘WOW’ moments that engage the children from the start of their learning. Engage children through the use of creative learning challenge questions. Involve children in the decision-making about their learning, allowing children choice and independence. Ensure children know what they are learning and why. Allow time to engage, reflect and review – including peer and self-assessment. Use a wealth of relevant resources – in the classroom, outdoors, in the local community, and the wider area including visits and visitors. Allow children to demonstrate their learning in different ways: posters, presentations, performances, historic and other themed days. Promote personal, social, and spiritual aspects of the curriculum. Encourage teachers to develop each child’s confidence, self-discipline, and understanding of their learning. View full school

Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation" is one of the oldest Russian higher education institutions where financial experts, financial law experts, economists, IT experts, mathematicians, sociologists, and political scientists are trained. The University has come a long way. It has evolved from an institute and a finance and banking specialist training academy into a significant research and education center. Today it incorporates 14 faculties based in Moscow and six faculties based in the University Branches, 60 teaching departments, three different education departments, ten collaborative provision departments formed in cooperation with the employers and 86 departments based in the University Branches, ten institutes, including the Institute of Correspondence Studies and Open Education, Institute for Development Projects, Institute of Short-Term Programs, 4 Institutes offering further education programs, three research institutes, three higher schools, four research and educational centers, two educational research laboratories and two educational laboratories and two colleges. There are 29 University Branches (incl. 14 Branches offer higher education programs, 4 Branches that offer higher education programs and post-secondary training programs, and 11 Branches that offer post-secondary training programs). The University's total annual enrolment (as at the beginning of the 2015\2016 academic year) is 51,579 students (incl. 23,712 students who study in face-to-face mode, 567 students who study in off-campus/on-campus study mode, and 27,300 students of correspondence study departments). There are 38,250 students of bachelor, master, and specialist degree programs (incl. 3,839 students of specialist degree programs, 31,427 students of bachelor degree programs, 2,984 students of master degree programs) 13,329 students of post-secondary training programs. The Financial University is one of the leading Russian higher education institutions. It offers 12 bachelor degree programs with 28 concentrations, 11 master degree programs with more than 50 concentrations, nine post-secondary training programs, 10 МВА programs, and 108 advanced training and professional development programs. The competition for the student places at the University is relatively fierce as the University ensures high quality of provision, and the University graduates have good employment prospects and career development opportunities after graduation. The Financial University has implemented and is improving the training scheme based upon the availability of various learning paths and continuous education modes. The system includes post-secondary training programs, as well as bachelor, master, and specialist degree programs. The University's quality of provision is widely recognized due to the highly qualified teaching staff employed. As of 1 January 2016, 1,545 teaching staff members are based in Moscow, including 1,214 academic degree holders. The number includes 340 Doctors of Sciences and 874 holders of Ph.D. degrees. There are 815 teaching staff members with academic titles (incl. 237 Professors, 560 Associate Professors, and 18 Senior Research Fellows). The University has started introducing such 'Bologna Process-induced' learning modes and methods into the learning process as module-based curricula models (that should replace linear curricula models), mobile learning groups, and a tutoring system. The visiting professors and experts offer their lectures (incl. the lectures in English given by professors from overseas universities). The student ranking system has been improved. New teaching techniques are used (case studies, business games, and role playing-based strategies, problem-solving tasks, etc.) e-books, and teaching aids, CDs, multimedia technology-based programs (training firms (a program in accounting, an insurance program)) are used, e-libraries are formed at various departments, a virtual laboratory at the Department of Financial Management is operational computer testing technologies are used for testing.
