What is Visible Learning (VL)?
Visible Learning+ is the only school improvement programme developed by Professor John Hattie and is available in the UK exclusively through Osiris.
Based on ground-breaking research into what actually works best in schools to improve learning and progress, VL is both the catalyst and the vehicle for positive change from the classroom through to a full school system. The very best in professional learning that implements a shared language of learning for every student, teacher and leader.
Visible Learning+ has been designed for school leaders and teachers seeking to embed the latest research to maximise learning. It is based upon the premise that every student should experience at least one year’s growth over the course of one school year.
Completed over three years, Visible Learning+ consists of a series of workshops and evaluations to provide the knowledge and tools to engage with John’s research and use evidence to evaluate instructional decisions.

Wolgarston High School started their Visible Learning journey in 2014 when they identified a need to strengthen pupil outcomes, leadership and whole-school focus. Their journey focused deeply on the use of robust evidence to inform their work at every level and supported them in shifting their focus from teaching to learning. Learner autonomy improved significantly as they embedded highly effective strategies for feedback and supported students in developing a language for thinking through SOLO Taxonomy.
In 2016, Penkridge Middle School were looking for a new approach to teaching and learning, one that would improve outcomes for students. Previous leadership teams had introduced a range of initiatives and September 2016 represented a time to develop a consistent approach for all.
An Daras Multi-Academy Trust began their Visible Learning journey in 2016, becoming an accredited Visible Learning Partner School in 2019. Successfully implementing VL across the whole MAT, An Daras is one of Visible Learning’s biggest success stories. With a focus on Assessment Capable Learners, the pupils across the An Daras MAT now have a ‘can do’ attitude and are able to take ownership of their learning.
Durdan’s Park Primary School had historically been successful in driving improvements in teaching and learning but they were ambitious in their vision to strengthen it further. They embarked upon the Visible Learning programme in order to build upon their previous success and engage with improvements in a coherent way through the Visible Learning framework. They significantly improved the active engagement of their learners in the learning process, building assessment-capability with a highly positive impact on outcomes.
Visible Learning ensured that Fielding Primary School became highly successful in embedding a shared language of learning across their school. They established a deep understanding of the learning process with students actively engaged in the process. FPS moved from Ofsted ‘Good’ to ‘Outstanding’ and they attribute their effectiveness and high impact to their engagement with and implementation of the Visible Learning principles.
