Planning in the Primary Schools

Planning in schools occurs at many levels. The ultimate aim of any plan is to bring about continuing and progressive improvements in pupil learning and achievement.

At school level, planning should help the school to provide for implementation of the curriculum and also detail school policy and procedure relating to a number of key areas so that continuity and progression in pupils’ learning are promoted. At classroom level, planning should ensure sufficient preparation to support high quality teaching and learning and support learning for all pupils.
