All of our curriculum resources are designed by highly experienced teaching and learning consultants.
Written by the Lancashire Professional Development Service (LPDS) Teaching and Learning Consultants, these assessment materials are directly linked to the expectations of the National Curriculum and will enable class teachers and senior leaders to track the progress and attainment of children against ‘End of Year Expectations’ in the Foundation Subjects.
These materials have been written to inform planning and support high quality teaching and learning across the primary phase whilst at the same time providing a simple and time effective method of assessing the learning of children from Years 1 to 6 in the Foundation Subjects.
Intent, Implementation and Impact of your curriculum!
These documents will support subject leaders and senior leaders in reflecting on the provision for the different subjects within your school curriculum and how these meet the specific needs of your children. This reflects the emphasis on the whole curriculum in the Ofsted inspection framework from September 2019.
The aim of the Examining Teaching and Learning in… documents is to provide subject leaders with a precise evaluation of the provision for their subject. Once conducted, the information can then be used as a basis for:
the subject improvement plan;
a discussion during an Ofsted inspection;
a position statement report to the governing body; and
general discussions about the subject with senior leaders and teachers in school.
The questions and prompts within the resources have been carefully designed to ensure consistency in a school’s approach to evaluation by the subject leader whilst also focusing on the individual characteristics of each subject area. They can be independently used by schools or be provided as part of a subject specific ‘Health Check’ provided by one of the Lancashire Teaching and Learning Consultants.
Assessment materials to support ongoing, day to day planning, assessment and progression as well as summative judgements against year group expectations. This resource provides teachers with formats which can be used for both planning and to help track progress of children linked to the National Curriculum programme of study and year group expectations.
The resource includes:
A set of Key Learning for each year group as a reference guide for long term planning.
Working Scientifically Skills Ladders which provide support for teaching and a format for tracking progression of skills against year group expectations.
An A4 grid for every unit of work in each year group which can be used for planning and assessment (linked to Knowledge and Conceptual Understanding).
Four examples to select from or adapt with ideas on how to collate judgements of pupil progress over a unit.
