Planning & Support

Toni & Kent are the Learning Co-ordinators for Pt England School. They will oversee Team and class programmes and liaise with contractors and facilitators. They will maintain an overview of how learning is delivered at this school. They will act as convenor of the Learning Pt. Committee which is made up of Russell, Garth, Toni, Kent, Helen King, Laura, Trish, Andrea & Dorothy. Russell, Garth, Kent & Toni will also be responsible for in-class support and monitoring of the Pt England Planning and Learning Models and for the overall plan of staff mtgs, scheduled professional development and feed back to teachers.

We will continue to provide whole team release as regularly and for as long as we can afford and organise. We have kept Fridays free of Withdrawal Programmes so that we can use our specialist staff as release teachers. We would also use that opportunity to provide team training for our specialists so that all staff benefit from this arrangement.

We will follow a cycle of planning and training, followed by trial, practice, support and feedback, followed by analysis and evaluation, giving rise to further planning and training.

General

We still want teachers to exercise their judgement about the curriculum as they plan and teach. Plan for variations where appropriate for your class. When teaching, vary the time as appropriate. The Learning Principles are a guide to underpin our programmes and a way of shifting the focus in our planning and teaching.
