Along with 3 other schools, we were invited by Ofsted to do a presentation to regional leaders and inspectors in London about our work improving outcomes for disadvantaged pupils. While talking about our work isn't a problem, doing it at such a high level was a little out of our comfort zone (mine, anyway!). We focused on the things we've done well and tried to summarise these effectively in 15 minutes...
Improved quality of teaching and learning
- What does outstanding T&L look like? Modelling and strategies
- Guidance and feedback – Pink polishing pens
- How pupils were grouped and flexibility within this
‘Learning to be the best we can’
- Became an expectation of all
- Our learning values – pupils taught about learning behaviours but was for ALL
Pupil Progress Meetings
- ‘Who is keeping you awake at night?’
- Accountability shift – identify key issues; time scales with support from LT; review; evaluation
- LT have an overview of vulnerable groups across the whole school – feed into action plans
Reviewing current interventions
- School Improvement Partner held Senior Leaders to account
- Interventions impacting on progress: feeds into classroom practice and teachers are accountable for this
- Senior Leaders are supporting intervention
- Getting in early!
CPD
- Used the ‘Teaching and Learning Community’ model
...and we over ran!!!
