ACED Teaching & Learning- Our vision 

At RVHS when it comes to Teaching and Learning our expectations ARE high. All lessons will encourage ASPIRATION, instil RESPECT and help all pupils ENDEAVOUR to realise their full potential, through developing a life-long love of learning.

Teaching and Learning is at the heart of everything thing we do and we understand that if we get this right, our students will make best progress possible and enjoy their time at RVHS.

As a school, we have decided that the best lessons have 4 core ingredients-

• Assessment

• Creativity

• Engagement

• aDaptive Teaching

We have implemented our ACED T&L framework as we strongly believe it contains the fundamental ingredients to deliver a successful lesson that can help students from all abilities to progress. All of our students deserve lessons which are pitched at the right level for them whilst providing opportunity and the guidance to help them realise their amazing potential. We want lesson’s that allow all involved to be creative, prepares our students for modern life and not only inspires them, but allows them to make outstanding progress through loving what they learn.

Our framework is purposefully simple & straightforward. We believe that excellent lessons can come in all shapes and sizes and that all teachers should have their own style. The framework allows for this perfectly. If lessons contain some element of our 4 core elements then our students will progress.

We ARE excited for the future and know that as we become even more in-tune with our philosophy, the most important people will benefit, our students.
