Teaching staff
LPS School provides the full range of subjects outlined by
the national curriculum to all students. To facilitate the
study of these subjects the school employs 150 fulltime staff,
many of whom have other roles within the school such as Heads
of Department.
Students
As mentioned previously, the students at LPS School are between
the ages of 5 and 18 and from a large geographically distributed
area. Students at the school are well mannered and very positive
towards teaching and learning within the school.
Teaching Styles present at LPS School
Teaching at LPS School is carried out via a mixture of Indirect
Instruction and Social Constructivist methods. Teachers use
in-class exercises and homework to help students develop their
own ideas and stimulate thinking. Teachers use probing questions
to challenge students views and homework is used as a way
of extending and reinforcing work begun in class.
Teachers of many subjects at LPS School openly encourage
debate and the questioning of knowledge, which are paramount
for the development of social constructivist learning.
School Website
LPS School has an external website (www.lpsdelhi.edu ) which
is used to provide parents of potential students with information
such as the School Prospectus, parents of existing students
with information such as the School Calendar, and existing
students with details of the subjects and important course
materials. It is important to note that although the website
is structured in a way as to allow each subject to provide
its own resources, currently ICT is the only subject that
has done this.
