2. English 3. Maths 4. Creative Arts 5. Wider Curriculum 6. Early Years

3. English Task and finish- In the event of school closure these meetings would happen virtually. 2.9.1-would need to become a regular dialogue with children/parents over the phone to ensure completion of learning. There would need to be a reevaluation of the drama/globe work. This would need to be pushed into a later term. Intended Outcome Current Position Planned Actions 2020 – 2021 KPIs Who

2.1 Develop wider English team, building capacity within the team to enable DW to work more widely on the curriculum and for the development of others.

Team has been formed and been meeting regularly for 1.5 terms

Continue with bi-weekly English Team meetings to share, discuss, and develop planning and teaching. Incorporate English planners from new year group teams. DW continue to coach / collaborate with NJ and RP.

All staff receive coaching on English. Staff receive accurate feedback during book scrutiny. Staff understand and are confident using the English system.

DW RP NJ

2.2 Build links with KS3, aiming to ensure a smooth transition to Yr7 English for children.

Initial links with Charter have been formed.

Look for opportunities to work with Charter to collaborate and provide CPD As above with Haberdashers.

Strong links of collaborative work formed. Coherence is supported at Y6/7 transition

DW NJ

2.3 All English units teach every element of the writing process explicitly in line with EEF guidance.

EEF training videos have been developed and discussed with English team. Coaching has been given to all English planners.

KS1 and KS2 staff training in EEF guidance. Further embed drama in writing units to enhance pre-writing phase. Continue to review plans and

Drama evident in lessons. Improved writing outcomes.

School Development Plan 8

support English team with planning.

2.4 All English units build on the learning from the Virtual School eg high levels of engagement, (especially through role-play and film), short writing tasks to build stamina, use of modelled writing and ‘jumping off points’.

Support is currently being given where needed.

Review plans and support English team with planning. Develop a crib sheet with key questions for English planners – eg. How does the unit incorporate drama and talk for writing? Who is the audience for the final outcome? CPD on modelled and shared writing within across lessons within a unit.

Role play and film is evident in planning. Children report high levels of enthusiasm for writing.

DW NJ

2.5 Continue to create new units based on texts which represent a diverse range of gender roles and ethnicities. See above.

Review plans and support English team with planning. Develop a crib sheet with key questions for English planners – eg. How does the unit incorporate drama and talk for writing? Who is the audience for the final outcome? CPD on modelled and shared writing within across lessons within a unit.

Weekly spelling lessons take place and spelling has improved.

DW NJ

2.9 Develop units to include opportunities for children to analyse / compare texts and express their own opinion as a stepping stone to essay writing skills, especially in Upper KS2.

The idea has been shared with the English team.

Through planning support and English Team meetings use the Writing Revolution to develop this Include a question on this on the crib sheet for English planners eg. Is there an opportunity for the children to express their own opinion on one of the unit themes?

Evidence of essay writing in upper KS2. Children share opinions and express feelings when comparing texts.

NJ DW

2.9.1 Use evidence-informed interventions to support low prior attainers and those with identified needs in speaking and listening and writing

Class teachers have initial ideas of which children would benefit from this support however assessments will take place in the autumn term.

Identify children with additional speaking and listening needs and begin Helicopter Stories / Storytelling club. Writing club / intervention.

All children who are not making expected progress will receive an intervention to catch up.

4. Maths

Task and Finish- In the event of school closure we would not be able to do evaluate home learning but we would continue to evaluate the virtual learning through parent surveys. 3.7 would need to go on hold until children return to school. Intended Outcome Current Position Planned Actions KPIs Who

3.1 Development of Maths Team

Maths lead currently in position. Early maths lead has been appointed. Maths team has increased to 8 members and begun to meet.

Distributed responsibility to broaden the impact of improvements to maths teaching and policy. Team members have an impact in their chosen/assigned area and gain experience in leadership and/or an evidence-informed approach to school improvement. Experienced team members will lead a whole-school area, e.g. homework, to develop leadership skills and use their expertise to improve their area. All team members will meet to discuss strategy for maths improvements. These strategies will be trialled through action-research and successes will be rolled-out to the whole school.

A team of experts who are capable of coaching and supporting others in the school. Evidence-informed whole-school strategic change.

3.2 Research and development of whole-school approach to daily recall, challenge and extension

We currently have several resource options for recall and extension but no concrete evidence of how well they work. Examples include rapid recall whiteboards, Inspire Maths and an automated recall spreadsheet.

The maths team will develop implementation strategies for how to best use these resources, then evaluate impact by gathering data. Other options for daily recall strategies to be explored, trialled and evaluated.

Researched and evidence-informed approach to daily recall implemented and proven to be successful. In book looks and lesson observations this will be evident.
