Beaconsfield Primary School 2018/19
"BELIEF", "PERSEVERANCE", "SUCCESS"
What problems were in your school and how did you identify them?
Beaconsfield has 95% EAL and a large group of pupils with Autism Spectrum Disorder
What actions did you take?
We used the "Assertive Mentoring Programme" to develop regular, detailed conversations between pupil and staff on learning. This means that all pupils engage in high quality discussions about their own learning every term. Pupils set their own learning priorities and with the guidance of staff evaluate their own performance. This was coupled with our own high-quality curriculum and excellent staff CPD.
We firmly believe in the CLPE (Centre for Literacy in Primary Education) approaches through the “Power of Reading". From Year 2 to Year 6 we focused on actively teaching skills of inference.
We also ran Additionally Resourced Provision for 21 pupils with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
What were the outcomes?
Our progress scores in Reading, Writing and Maths over the past two years are in the top 10% of schools.
