This is the full school set of cover sheets for all year group topics. These can be glued into the children’s book before each topic starts. Great for Ofsted and we use them to mark out interventions for TAs in the small steps. Each maths area has its own border, eg, length is tape measures and place value has colourful numbers. I have left them as a word document so you can edit to suit your school. As i have uploaded it to a new computer, the school font has not been recognised so you will need to change the font and ensure each unit is on a new page. The title is the unit topic, then the White Rose small steps for that unit are below, a box for a before and after test results and a box at the bottom for the children to reflect on their learning within the topic. You can edit the boxes or wording, even the image around the edge if you like (it is a watermark under the design tab in word).

It starts with Ofsted’s praise of Primary history and then works through the report’s headings of Curriculum, Pedagogy, Assessment, School Systems and Teacher Knowledge outlining 2 or 3 of the main findings. It concludes with 3 examples of history practice from effective primary schools and a final warning not to just fact check but provide a rich curriculum. The final slide has a link to the full report. The slides transition like a flip chart and there are some simple animation on the third slide. These can all be changed if you want to.
