RSE and LGBTQ+ toolkit – secondary

(0)
This toolkit comprises three essential documents for school leaders to audit your school’s RSE curriculum approach, map coverage and also includes a LGBTQ+ audit tool to ensure your school is inclusive. OFSTED will discuss your school’s approach to delivering the RSE curriculum and to what extend you are supporting LGBTQ+ students as part of the Personal Development strand of the Education Inspection Framework. Relationships and sex education audit tool As a secondary school you must teach relationships and sex education. There’s a list of expectations about what pupils will need to know by the end of the secondary phase. The DfE outlines a set of expectations regarding the knowledge that pupils should acquire by the end of the secondary phase. To assess your current progress and identify any areas that need improvement, you can use this audit. Each expectation can be assigned a ‘red, amber, green’ (RAG) rating. A red rating indicates that the expectation is currently not taught at all, amber signifies that it is covered but not effectively or that there are outstanding issues, and green indicates that it is covered effectively with no further work needed. Curriculum coverage map To identify where statutory Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) content is delivered in each year group and term across secondary school you need to identify where takes place. By creating a coverage map you can systematically identify where statutory RSE content is delivered in each year group and term across the school. This approach helps ensure there are no gaps in coverage, the school meets statutory requirement and to assess the balance of content provided LGBTQ+ Curriculum review tool To foster a more inclusive understanding and foster positive attitudes toward gender and LGBTQ+ inclusivity among your students, it is crucial to implement changes throughout your entire curriculum. Simply addressing topics related to gender and sexuality in a limited number of PSHE or RSE (Personal, Social, Health, and Economic Education; Relationships and Sex Education) lessons is unlikely to yield significant results. Whole school gender and LGBTQ+ audit tool This audit primarily addresses concerns related to gender and LGBTQ+ issues. The reason for addressing both of these protected characteristics simultaneously is because discussions concerning harmful gender stereotypes frequently intersect with conversations about sexuality or gender identity, and vice versa.

Relationships and sex education audit tool As a primary school, it is necessary to provide education on relationships. The DfE outlines a set of expectations regarding the knowledge that pupils should acquire by the end of the primary phase. While sex education is not mandatory in primary schools, it is strongly recommended, and there are guidelines on what should be covered if it is included in the curriculum. To assess your current progress and identify any areas that need improvement, you can use this audit. Each expectation can be assigned a ‘red, amber, green’ (RAG) rating. A red rating indicates that the expectation is currently not taught at all, amber signifies that it is covered but not effectively or that there are outstanding issues, and green indicates that it is covered effectively with no further work needed.

Writing progression framework - Key stages 1 to 3

(0)
The progression framework from JMB Education is a comprehensive guide designed for educators to scaffold the development of writing skills from Key Stages 1 through 3. This framework offers a structured approach to cultivating proficient writers equipped with a strong foundation in both the mechanical and creative aspects of writing. At the core of this framework is the progression model that aligns closely with the national curriculum requirements, ensuring that students not only meet but exceed the expected standards. Each key stage is carefully detailed to provide clear guidance on the progression of skills and knowledge, from the fundamentals of sentence construction and spelling in the early years to more complex narrative and non-narrative structures in later stages. This framework provides clarity on year-on-year progression, with detailed components that outline the acquisition of key knowledge and skills. It serves as both a roadmap and a resource, aiding in the planning of lessons that are both engaging and educational, tailored to the needs of each individual school and its students.

Reading progression framework - Key stages 1 to 3

(0)
The progression framework from JMB Education is designed to develop reading knowledge and skills across Key Stages 1 to 3. The framework plays a pivotal role in fostering automaticity in reading, which is essential for developing fluent and proficient readers. Automaticity refers to the ability to recognise words quickly and effortlessly, which is fundamental for freeing up cognitive resources to focus on more complex tasks such as comprehension and critical analysis of texts. As children progress through the stages of the framework, they are systematically exposed to phonics, word recognition, and decoding strategies that enhance their ability to process text at a faster pace. This structured progression is designed to build a solid foundation of early reading skills, which gradually leads to increased reading speed and smoother transitions between lines and sentences. By achieving automaticity, readers can devote more attention to understanding and interpreting the meaning behind texts, thus deepening their engagement with and enjoyment of reading. This capability not only boosts their confidence but also plays a crucial role in their academic success across subjects, as proficient reading is a cornerstone of effective learning.

Oracy progression framework - Key Stage 1 to 3

(0)
The progression framework from JMB Education is designed to significantly enhance oracy (the ability to express oneself fluently and grammatically in speech) skills across Key Stages 1 to 3, providing a structured approach to the development of spoken language abilities within an educational context. It emphasises the year-on-year acquisition of key knowledge and skills, aligning closely with the national curriculum’s requirements, and showcases a detailed structure for educators to follow, ensuring clear progression through each year group. At the heart of this framework is the understanding that most primary and secondary schools lack a dedicated curriculum for spoken language development, despite its critical role in students’ overall academic success and social integration. The framework addresses this gap by highlighting key components, vocabulary, knowledge and skills for each key stage, presenting a comprehensive pathway for students to develop their speaking and listening abilities, from simple turn-taking and expressing feelings in Key Stage 1 to participating in debates, presenting arguments, and employing advanced negotiation techniques by Key Stage 3. Moreover, the framework underlines the importance of SMSC (Spiritual, Moral, Social, and Cultural) development through spoken language, showcasing how oracy activities can foster imagination, moral understanding, social skills, and cultural awareness. It offers a wide range of activities and vocabulary progression charts that are meticulously designed to nurture students’ oracy skills in a way that is deeply integrated with their overall educational experience, making it an invaluable resource for educators aiming to enrich their teaching practices and for students striving to excel in spoken language.
