Quality of Teaching, Learning and Assessment
Planning, monitoring and reflecting on these areas enables each student to achieve their full potential and reach their optimum level of personal achievement.
Leading Teaching & Learning
If effective schools are those where a range of outcomes for children and young people are provided for, and where pupils make better progress than predicted on the basis of where they started, then the quality of the teachers and the learning they provide are central to success
Developing Teaching Practice
Teachers need effective initial and continuing professional development in order to secure quality outcomes for children
Assessment
Schools have the freedom to choose their own approaches to formative and summative assessment, according to what best suits their pupils, curriculum and staff
Curriculum Development
High Quality Curricula ensure that children are provided with skills to ensure their success both during and post-statutory education
Curriculum Support (Core Subject Areas)
Schools should aim to provide curricula which are effective, engaging, challenging and compliant with the requirements of the National Curriculum
Curriculum Support (Foundation)
Delivering a balanced and broad taught curriculum needs careful thought and planning
Curriculum Support (EYFS)
