Headteacher's Welcome
COMPASS
Learner Induction
On Entry
All new students induction programmes will include a range of standardised baseline assessments including reading.
Results from these assessments will be analysed and used to inform future planning. These results will be used to inform the Individual Education Plans of each learner and to set targets for expected progress.
Record Keeping & Assessment
Regular assessments are made of students work in order to establish the level of attainment and to inform future planning. Students are made aware of the level of work they are completing and at what levels they are working by the use of feedback, stickers and stamps in the front of each book. After each assessed piece of work. Feedback will be in the form of “two stars and a wish”
Monitoring & Evaluation
Subject Leaders will regularly monitor and moderate students work books. These are also available for the SLT and middle leaders to sample for work scrutiny.
Senior & Middle Leaders will observe class teachers in their area at least twice a year as part of our performance management cycle.
Members of the Senior Leadership team will observe Subject Leader’s for whom they have line management responsibility for.
Subject Leaders will monitor students books bi-termly using the Centre’s Work Scrutiny Format and then complete the Departmental Action Plan
