These notes were created for students studying the WJEC / Eduqas AS Level Religious Studies specification and are designed to be ‘at a glance’ revision notes that go into detail for each part of the specification - i.e. what each student needs to know about Islam Theme 1 (religious figures and sacred texts) for their exam. For students who are predicted lower grades than their peers, I have found this resource is invaluable in giving them ‘slimmed down’ content for Islam Theme 1 and these notes allowed them to tackle revising the topic without the fear of drowning in lots of content. For my more able students they used these for self-quizzing and as a starting point for making their own very detailed notes (an important part of revision in itself). Thanks for looking and I hope this saves you a little bit of time in the run up to exam season! :)

This CPD, aimed at new and existing members of SLT, goes through the rationale behind conducting subject deep dives in the style of Ofsted, and how to implement them. Included are two files: a PowerPoint file in the event you would like to deliver this CPD to staff as a presentation a PDF in case you want to disseminate this CPD via email, or follow up with the notes to the presentation above. This resource provides step-by-step insights into navigating subject deep dives, focusing on intentional strategies for refining teaching practices and achieving incremental improvements, fostering a culture of reflection and adaptability within the constraints of secondary education. Thanks for taking a look - hopefully after using this guidance you’ll be in a place as a senior leadership team, or as a highly competent middle leader, where you are able to convey the need for and benefits of subject deep dives, not just in the context of preparing for Ofsted, but also importantly in the spirit of a commitment to continuous school improvement.
