Critical Skills

The Jersey Critical Skills programme has been developed to prepare children for the complex rigours of adult life in the 21st Century, as well as helping them to enhance and enjoy their studies.

What does this mean for my child?

Children will be expected to work collaboratively in groups on specially designed challenges usually based in real life contexts.

They will learn the critical skills of:  

• Problem solving
• Decision making
• Critical thinking
• Creative thinking
• Communication
• Organisation
• Management and
• Leadership

We aim to ensure that the pupils become owners of life long learning, have self-direction and develop their own internal models of quality. Additionally we expect children to develop integrity as part of the collaborative learning community.
