The school plan is a response to the major societal and educational challenges of our time, such as polarisation, the rise of artificial intelligence, and the decline in basic skills.

We are working to provide a solid foundation of knowledge and skills, so that by 2029 pupils will:

• A smooth transition to further education or the job market.
• To develop into socially engaged, curious, and independent adults.
• Learning to cope with adversity and develop resilience.

The three overarching ambitions for the next four years are:

• Increasing social engagement within and outside of lessons.
• Promoting motivation.
• Increasing pupils' independence and perseverance.

The ambitions have been translated into a concrete action plan divided into five categories: Pedagogy, Didactics, Educational Offer, Personal Development and Support.

Key focal points are:

• Pedagogy Recording agreements on ‘sensible behaviour’ for a safe learning and working environment. De Werenfridiaan demonstrates exemplary behaviour, with an emphasis on genuine interest in others and listening.
• Teaching methods Actively securing formative action in lessons to make pupils responsible for their own learning process. Explicitly integrating executive functions (e.g. learning to learn) into the curriculum, particularly in the lower years.
• Educational offering Stimulating interdisciplinary learning to promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The objective is that by 2028-2029, 80% of pupils will participate in such projects.
• Personal Development Focus on socialisation, inclusion, internationalisation (via TTO and Erasmus+), citizenship and the creation of a safe feedback culture.
• Support The aim of our inclusive education is always to guide our pupils within the walls of Werenfridus towards qualification, socialisation, and personification.

With this plan, Werenfridus aims to be a school where everyone feels heard and seen, and where students are optimally prepared for their uncertain, but beautiful future.
