Learning Walks Feedback Walk 2 – Differentiation October 2011



Many thanks to all those who were part of the Learning Walks this week.


Areas of Strength


The levels of enthusiasm demonstrated by pupils as well as the calm, purposeful atmosphere in lessons continues to be a great strength. Teaching is consistently focused and stimulating.
In many lessons the teachers had ensured that resources were discretely differentiated to allow less able students access to the task whereas in others tasks were targeted towards different level / grade boundaries to ensure that learning was appropriately pitched.
In some GCSE lessons exam criteria was reinforced to ensure that all students were suitably prepared and fully understood the requirements for their respective target grades. In one lesson technology
(MAC) was used very effectively to support less able in composing music and there was much supportive collaboration between more and less able. The students worked both independently & diligently.

The focus this week and the week beginning 1st November is AFL
