What will progress look like?
All areas taught within the Department incorporate
‘assessment for learning’ techniques.
Learning and teaching is divided into reading and writing
while vocabulary links both topics. Successes are celebrated
and areas for improvement are identified, allowing pupils to
find out exactly what they need to make progress.
Pupils particularly enjoy opportunities for creativity,
experimenting and performance.
It is vitally important that all students read independently at
home. There are several more keys to success:
Sharing learning intentions at the start of the lesson
Evaluating understanding of the lesson
Class discussion
Self-assessment
Personal target setting
