Secondary Strategy in South Gloucestershire 

 

Extract from the 5 - year Strategy for Children and Learners, July 2004:

"(ii) A new secondary strategy for teaching and learning

13. Secondly, we will develop the Key Stage 3 Strategy – designed to improve teaching for 11 to 14 year-olds – into a Secondary Strategy covering the whole 11-16 stage. The Strategy will help teachers give careful attention to pupils’ individual learning needs, set challenging targets for them linked to high-quality assessment, and offer tools to teachers to make lessons pacy, challenging and enjoyable.

14. This new Secondary Strategy will put extra focus on the areas of learning that many pupils find most difficult – for example, writing and close reading skills in English, algebra in mathematics, and investigative work in science. This will help every single pupil achieve their potential even in difficult areas. "

 

National Secondary Strategy

The Key Stage 3 Strategy aims to raise standards by strengthening learning and teaching across the curriculum for all pupils aged 11 to 16.  It is based on four important principals:
  • Expectations:  establishing high expectations for all pupils and setting challenging targets for them to achieve

  • Progression:  Strengthening transition from KS2 to KS3 and KS3 to KS4 ensuring effective progression in teaching and learning across the Secondary phase.

  • Engagement:  Promoting approaches to teaching and learning that actively engage pupils in their own learning

  • Transformation:  Supporting and strengthening teaching and learning through a comprehensive programme of professional development and practical support.
