Planning Hook/impact day – creative start to engage and motivate children. Key questions – investigate/research/pupil-led. Trips, visits, real life experiences, use of the local area – making learning meaningful and purposeful. Planned outcomes/WOW end – a celebration of learning (Parent invitation).
Other subject areas taught: Religious Education is taught weekly – we follow the Diocese plans. PE – two sessions a week, teachers are supported by coaches from Premier Sports. Computing – (Study Zone, Chris Thomas). Modern Foreign Languages. Geography, History, Art, DT, Music (Progression of Skills).
Assessment End of Key Stage Assessments (Year 2 and Year 6) SATs. Levels have been removed – replaced with ‘Age - Expected’ ‘Secondary ready’. St John’s have moved to ‘Assessment Steps’ – identifies pupils next steps and tracks individual progress. They were devised by three school collaborations, personalised by EduCant and St John’s. 6 steps across the year is ‘expected’.
Independence What does it mean? Not just pupils working on their own! Why do we want pupils to be independent? Effective communicators, well organised and problem solvers. Needs to be taught and modelled (scaffold). Role of teacher: plan opportunities, engagement, resources, structure (set boundaries/clarity), provide formative feedback. Build confidence and resilience. Practical ideas for the classroom: summarise groups thoughts, assign roles, teach others, BBBB, peer and self editing, involve pupils in planning (MTP), reflect on learning, decision making, pods. What has been effective in your classroom?
