Planning and Assessment
Short term planning follows a series of incremental ‘small steps’ based on the White Rose scheme of learning. Planning is adapted within each cohort in order to meet and challenge the varying needs of learners working at a range of levels.
Formative assessments include fluency challenges, mental maths and calculation sessions. The outcome of these encourages children to reflect upon the progress they are making alongside the areas they can develop further in the future. Children are encouraged to view learning as an ongoing process and not an event.
Termly summative assessments are used to track children’s progress. This is enhanced with gap analysis tools to allow subsequent lessons to be planned based on children’s areas for development.
