The Planning Process

Our development of the new curriculum continues this term with some key areas for us to focus on. Over the last term, we have realised that our new curriculum may be at risk of becoming too content driven rather than skills based. We need to ensure that exciting learning opportunities are matched to the skills and expectations, and that these also feature in our medium term plans. To that end, we have tried to visualise the planning process, starting with English, to ensure that these expectations are met and that these in turn impact on the day to day learning. We are also reviewing our use of learning intentions and success criteria and making these much more focussed - separating the skill from the context.
