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.

These on–entry assessment materials will support practitioners to set up relevant and appropriate provision, including resources, within the nursery classroom, to enable them to make relevant observations of what children know, understand and can do on entry to nursery. The materials offer prompts across all seven areas of learning and development and the characteristics of effective learning.
Sample activities are provided across ten areas of provision to support practitioners to choose from and engage children in open-ended but purposeful activities.
These materials can be used alongside other baseline assessment activities and will support practitioners in making an accurate judgement of a child’s skills, knowledge and understanding on entry to nursery. For five term Nursey children you could focus on the prime areas and three term Nursery children both the Prime and Specific areas.
A tool for schools and settings working with children aged 3-5 years
This publication supports practitioners working in EYFS (nursery and reception classes) with planning and developing a curriculum to meet the learning needs of the children in their school or setting.
The document will be a useful tool for practitioners who are new to working in EYFS, as well as experienced EYFS practitioners, subject leaders, EYFS co-ordinators, senior leaders within schools who are looking to evaluate and further develop their existing EYFS curriculum.
Schools and settings can use this framework to plan an effective curriculum over a period of time, which can be changed, and reviewed in response to meet the individual needs of each cohort in a nursery or reception class.
The EYFS document is not a scheme of work, but allows schools and settings the flexibility to plan a bespoke curriculum to meet the needs of their children whilst ensuring the children are given the opportunities to progress through the EYFS, and to support transition into key stage 1.
Pupil attainment is dependent upon good quality teaching in the classroom.
This resource focuses on different aspects of teaching and has been produced to help your school identify strengths and areas for development in the drive towards quality first teaching and learning. It focuses on formative assessment practices and aspects of great teaching which will have a positive impact on your pupils’ learning and outcomes. It is designed to be flexible and easy to use by both senior leaders and classroom practitioners to develop practice.
The Key Learning documents are based on the programmes of study from the National Curriculum and pinpoint the key pieces of learning in each year group for Y1 to Y6.
They build upon the statutory elements to provide teachers with more specific guidance, further examples or additional and relevant objectives to ensure clarity, cohesion and continuity.
This package will enable you to identify the Key Learning within Science and the Foundation subjects. The subjects included are as follows:
Art and Design
Computing
Design and Technology
Geography
History
Languages
Music
Physical Education
Science
These new guidelines for primary and secondary schools offer practical advice and resources in meeting the needs of the most able. They are intended to support schools in examining what is already in place for these learners and in developing a thorough whole school approach based on a shared understanding of what meeting their needs requires.
For Senior Leaders the guidelines support schools in a review of systems and structures including identification in all subjects, an audit of current provision, tracking progress and how to include the school’s support for the most able in the school’s self-evaluation.
For those with a lead role in meeting the needs of the most able the guidelines include advice on starting points, approaches to teaching and learning and addressing key issues like transition and underachievement. For primary schools, classroom ideas in all subjects are also included.
All of the grids included in the guidelines are provided as templates for schools to adapt for their own use.

Key Learning for the EYFS in CLL
What is Key Learning for the EYFS in CLL?
The Key Learning for EYFS in CLL statements are the small step goals for Reception children to work through to achieve the ‘Expected’ ELGs in Reading and Writing.
Where have they come from?
The Key Learning for EYFS in CLL statements have been identified primarily from the EYFS. Other key documents cross referenced in their preparation include Development Matters, Letters and Sounds, and Lancashire Assessment and Progression materials.
How are they different from the EYFS ELGs?
There were two main aims in creating Key Learning for EYFS. The first aim was to pull out the key steps in learning to enable clear planning for the Literacy elements within EYFS, and the second was to provide a clear progression to achieve the ELGs for the Prime and Specific aspects towards the ‘Expected’ Level.
How might Key Learning for the EYFS in CLL be useful?
The Key Learning for EYFS in CLL statements should help to focus, and be exemplified, during whole class and group teaching. Taught in the context of lively, engaging and creative themes, they help to ensure that pupils make progress as readers and writers. Teaching should ensure that skills are modelled and scaffolded and that pupils are given opportunities to apply them in a range of different contexts and through continuous provision.

Sample activities are provided across six areas of provision to support practitioners to engage children in open-ended but purposeful activities.
These materials can be used alongside other baseline assessment activities, and will support early years practitioners in making an accurate judgement of a child’s skills, knowledge and understanding on entry to reception.
How can we ensure that what children learn sticks with them for a long time?
This publication will support teachers and subject leaders in identifying and using strategies to support children in retaining their learning over time. How the human memory works, the importance of curriculum structure, strategies for teaching and learning, questioning, and approaches to speaking and listening are explored within the context of sticky learning.
There are separate chapters for science, geography, history, computing, art and DT which identify subject specific examples of pedagogical approaches aimed at supporting children in committing new learning to their long term memory.
An invaluable guide for subject leaders and teachers to maximise the learning potential within their classroom.
