Deep Dive Pack to support primary schools monitoring the intent, implementation and impact of their own curriculum using OFSTED-style methodology. The pack has been put together based upon recent OFSTED inspections across the country. It enables senior leaders to monitor their a curriculum or aspect of their curriculum by: conducting subject leader interviews, with questions taken from OFSTED inspections. using books to determine the impact and implementation of subject leader’s work. conducting pupil interviews across school to determine the impact of teaching. conducting staff interviews to ascertain their understanding of the subject against the OFSTED framework and the impact of any CPD relating to the subject.

Whether you call it a ‘book look’, ‘book scrutiny’ or something completely different, the fact is, they are an important management strategy for understanding children’s progress over time! This collection of monitoring forms can be used by subject and senior leaders to check children’s progress and monitor the effectiveness of teaching and learning for each individual subject. The monitoring forms are available for the following subjects: Reading Writing Maths Science Foundation Subjects (history, geography, art, etc.) They are also available in two formats: Individual: completed for each individual in your school to support appraisal, or; Whole-School: a whole-school version to show a summary of teaching effectiveness on one page. There is also a WAGOLL of these versions to show you what they might look like when they are completed. They are provided in a word document so that you can edit these however you would like.
