What actions did you take?
Exceptional professional development for teachers using pupil premium funding that enabled all students to access a rigorous academic curriculum. Focusing on professional development to enhance teaching and learning and consequently student outcomes. Knowing what mattered most and keeping it evidence-informed, in tune with both our context and journey. Relentless implementation of improved pedagogy that was continually evaluated. Enabled by a school culture of trust; with a system and structure to give teachers additional timetabled release time to develop their practice, for generic and subject specific practice. Collaborative enquiry and deliberate practice are two key features of Riverside's professional development programme.
