CHALLENGE PARTNERS: Quality Assurance Review Written Report, January 2016
• A range of highly effective strategies, including the innovative personalised coaching, has strongly improved the quality of teaching since the last review. The quality of work in pupils’ books provides testament to the progress that has been made. The consistency of improvement demonstrates the commitment and dedication of staff.
• Personal CPD planners are updated half-termly and show the progress the teachers are making towards their chosen targets. Teachers are much clearer on expectations of their practice and can see how it impacts on learning. The recent Ofsted report (June 2015) stated that: ‘The immediate improvement this [video coaching] has brought about is evident in the consistently good teaching by both newly qualified teachers and established staff.’ As a result of reflecting on individual teaching through video coaching, teaching can be tweaked so pupil response, engagement, participation and overall attitude to learning is improved.
