Actions (what we will do) | Outcomes (what we expected to happen) | Progress Report - 16 May 2018 |
Target groups A target group will be selected by each class teacher. The group will consist of pupils achieving in writing and maths at the beginning of the appropriate curriculum level. It is envisaged that the target group will get an extra 15 -30 minutes tuition a day. Each group will have separate planning and a separate programme in addition to that provided in the regular class programme. Detailed data will be kept on each child in each group. A second target group may be selected after 15 weeks or the teacher might carry on with the same group.
| Target groups Pupils in the writing target groups will progress at an advanced rate with 75% making it to the end of the appropriate curriculum level by the end of the year All groups will get extra, focussed tuition in maths, reading and writing. Planning and data will be shared at syndicate level or with the Syndicate Leader. A decision will be made after 15 weeks as to where we go from here. Possible options are
| Target groups Children’s confidence improved and levels of most children in all target groups progressed Children that didn’t attend school regularly did not show as much progress From 6 year net observation information the children couldn’t write words because they struggled to form letters, this hindered their ability and confidence to be successful writers The progress was hard to define when using eastle rubrics Few children moved significantly across all rubric areas, some children moved and a few stayed the same. Observation survey is being used as an assessment tool for Juniors as it shows more of a Literacy picture
