April Update
Probably the most fundamental achievement was our completion of leadership training for all our curricular leaders. We have an excellent team of coordina-tors and we have been working hard to be as productive and efficient as possible.
Our Key Stage 2 teachers also developed their knowledge of reciprocal reading. This is a reading teaching strategy that helps to enhance pupils’ comprehension and teamwork skills.
We are also developing our ‘Author Bashes’ in Key Stage 2. It is our intention that each term all our Year 5 to 7 pupils will study an author and then participate in a house competition table quiz. This month we have planned a Michael Morpurgo table quiz on Friday 29th April.
The curricular teams have been studying pupils’ and parental feedback to help draw up our next School Development Plan for 2016 to 2019.
