Framework of Skills for Inquiry Learning

When planning for inquiry-based learning, we work with the Framework of Skills for Inquiry Learning (FOSIL) which was developed at Oakham School before spreading to schools around the UK and beyond.  If you would like to know more, or would like some support with developing inquiry work, please contact Mrs Breag (LRB).
