Complete description

The Human Scale Schools project, which ran for three years, set out 'to build a solid core of human scale schools that can stand up as effective examples of human scale principles in practice'. Launched in 2006 by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in partnership with the educational charity Human Scale Education, the project encouraged secondary schools to develop their own schemes for creating a more human scale ethos. These included the setting up of small-scale learning communities, cross disciplinary curriculum projects, more holistic pastoral structures and greater student participation in learning. Grants were offered to 39 schools across the country to enable them to design and implement these innovations.
