• Teachers to use support documentation to help them identify these key areas (e.g. Teaching Mathematics Guidance from the DFE)
• All Phase Groups to have created an intervention log outlining the strategies for each individual pupil within the Phase Group.

supporting school planning

2020 research documents

indicate that this array of

teaching strategies combined

with good subject knowledge

and knowledge of their pupils

are the key components of high quality teaching and

learning for all.

learning to differentiate

between learning that has

been forgotten due to

hasn’t been learnt properly.

Analysis of individual data (tests, learning walks / drop ins, book looks) will show that gaps have been filled and progress is being made.
