Over the past twelve months we have undergone a detailed evaluation of our whole school progress model. We have been fortunate to have had the input and support from many parents and students as well as teachers during this review and are pleased to announce some changes we are making to the way we report to you as parents.
As always, support from home is invaluable, therefore a major focus has been improving the quality of information we can supply to you as parents, in terms of the progress your child has made and offering insight into their development.
At The Streetly Academy we offer a range of interventions to support your child with their learning and their progress and we know that one of the most effective methods of intervention is small group work with support from a teacher or member of support staff.
Following an assessment or some classwork or homework teachers will identify where students have gaps in their knowledge or need more practice to develop a skill so will run a clinic to offer support for those students. These sessions will be offered at lunchtimes and after school, often with class teachers but sometimes with supporting members of staff such as academic coaches or teaching assistants. These sessions are called Raising Achievement Clinics.
You will be notified of these via Class Charts. They do look like a detention - but they are not. They do not give your child any negative points - Class Charts does this to ensure the student cannot be booked with two teachers at the same time. These clinics are compulsory and can lead to your child being given detention if they do not attend them. We would appreciate your support in encouraging your child to attend these as we know the positive impact they can have on student learning; their confidence in the classroom and therefore, their progress.
If you have any questions about Raising Achievement Clinics please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Bent
