• Broad enough to give a wide range of learning experiences and opportunities to prepare for next phase
• Personalised enough to give flexibility for every pupil in every subject area
• Pupil teaching groups (classes) which are differentiated for learning ability or style
• Motivating, meaningful subject specific programmes of study to suit pupil need for learning, in school and beyond, which allow for phases of development
• Creation of assessment mapping, demonstrating pupil progress over time, and celebration of small steps

Implementation

• Stand alone Early Years department, following a tailor made curriculum which prepares reception pupils for school and  learning in the next phase
• Curriculum pathways which serve groups of pupils for their learning, now and with a destination in mind
• Inclusion of EHCP targets in learning maps
• Subject Specific learning which is weaved across the pathway model
• Subject Programmes of study, which clearly map sequenced phases of knowledge and progression of skills; to be taught, developed, repeated and applied
• Small teaching groups with high adult ratio learning support
• Phonics and maths streaming
• Quality teaching and learning, which is regularly monitored and evaluated by leaders
• Progress and attainment monitored through daily formative assessment and termly pupil progress meetings
• Systems of assessment which plot attainment and progress towards phases of learning
• Close working with parents, dojo, workshops, training etc

Impact
