Arbor Room

We felt our pupils were too reliant on modelled examples and did not leave us with the knowledge and skills to be truly independent writers. So, three years ago we changed the way we teach and assess writing. This has led to a significant increase in standards, but most importantly these are based on fully independent writing.

We have a champions Project where each Year 6 pupil has a go to member of staffbasically someone to fight your corner- no matter what! We have had a come dine with me experience and lots of other team building events. This is my original idea and has made a tremendous impact on the self- esteem, confidence and academic ability of our current Year 6 class- who have been the most challenging class in the school. It is all about positive mind set and we have reinvented and rebranded this class as the best in the school. We have to believe it to make them believeselffulfilling prophecy in action!

We will be sharing our experiences of being part of the Maths Hub and Mastery School Programme over the past two years and the strategies and practices we have adopted from EYFS up to KS2 which have resulted in us being in the top 10% of schools for Maths at KS2. Amongst other things, we will be discussing pre and post learning, morning maths, concrete / pictorial and abstract approach, Maths Working Walls, higher level questioning, Maths of the day, and supporting learning at home.

Connecting Classrooms can bring a school’s cultural experience alive, and when added to global learning, can enhance pupils’ education and improve outcome.

Teachers also benefit from these shared learning journeys.

No written marking and feedback: reducing teacher workload and maximising impact.

Diane Gallagher St Michaels – Liverpool

In order to reduce teacher workload, along with creating a more effective system of marking and feedback for our children, we adopted a traffic light approach to marking across the school, based around the principals of no written feedback. Teachers/other adults 'live mark' during the lesson and give personalised feedback to individuals/groups where appropriate, allowing them to immediately

After running six successful creative arts competitions that engaged over 11,000 children and young people to commemorate the First World War, I will be promoting the next phase of our international competition launching in September 2019. For the next phase of our competition we are inviting children and young people from across the world aged 9-18 to reflect on and respond to conflict throughout history by either creating a piece of artwork, or writing a song, poem or speech.

How to design your curriculum

Tom Wallace

How to design your curriculum • Ensuring you are reducing workload for staff • Linking your curriculum to assessment • The Catholic curriculum Summary: How well designed is your curriculum? Is it logically sequenced, coherent and progressive throughout? How well do your children build upon prior attainment and teachers regularly assess what children have understood? Is your reasoning and vision for your curriculum visible in all subjects - raising teacher standards? And most importantly, how can we build all this, whilst at the same time, balance teacher’s

The Education Inspection Framework

Angel Solutions

The Impact on attitudes to learning, writing for genuine audience and purpose.

Deputy Mitchell

well-being? During this 40-minute workshop, Tom Wallace, former Deputy Head, SLE in Formative assessment and co-founder of Balance will delve into important questions, theories and research that will help all schools meet the new EIF as well as embedding a learning culture throughout, saving teacher’s precious time.

The Education Inspection Framework This session will cover: • What has changed? …and what hasn’t.

• Reflections from the pilot inspections earlier this year • What serving inspectors are doing to ensure that they are fully prepared Summary: Change is uncomfortable, especially when it’s on something as major as an overhaul to the inspection framework. At Angel Solutions, we’ve been tracking these developments closely as schools across the country trust us to help them to prepare and feel confident ahead of inspections. Over the years we’ve developed strong working partnerships with a network of advisors and inspectors – many of whom were involved with delivering and reflecting on the pilot inspections. What we’re presenting here is a distillation of the information that we’ve learned about the new framework from hundreds of pages of documents and hours of practical experience.

Whether you’re an expert or still getting to grips with the EIF, this session will leave you feeling confident and better prepared for your next inspection.

This session will explore the impact on pupils when the traditional model of writing and learning just for their teacher is changed to writing and learning for a ‘truly global audience’. Deputy Mitchell will share some of the amazing impact from the Solution Satellite ‘Global Blogging Project’ which took place in the Spring/Summer term. He will show, how a simple shift in audience and purpose can have a dramatic impact on standards, attitudes to learning and how much pupils can write outside of school with some of the greatest impact being on boys and pupil premium pupils.
