Our KS3 curriculum is knowledge rich and lays the foundations for the next stages of our students’ journey through school.

We want KS3 to provide firm foundations for success as students begin their GCSEs.

The quality of work our Year 7 and Year 10 Art students are producing is wonderful to see 🤩

***TRANSITION STRATEGY***

We want our new intake to feel confident and prepared for their transition to high school.

Our storyboards give an insight into life at Longdendale through the eyes of Lenny 😊

Teams first, coaching second.  Individual coaching has a scale problem – unless we build around strong teams. https://t.co/x2cn9I4Y7c via @teacherhead

Formative Action Loops - and why teaching effectively involves creating them constantly. https://t.co/G42fafTKWh @toetsrevolutie @ValentinaDevid Rene Kneyber. Using this concept all the time now and it makes so much sense... it's all about loops!

@KsaSapp Thank you, really appreciate that.

That was exactly the intention: making the next steps clear and actionable for students, rather than just giving them a score.

It’s made a big difference to how they engage with feedback.

The STICKIEST things I've ever taught my Ss is from Graham Nuthall's Hidden Lives of Learners.

‘Rule of Three’ – need to encounter learning material in at least 3 significant ways in order to learn it

Thanks Bennie Kara @teacherhead!

@gcsemathstutor This looks amazing, and for the students a clear indicator of next steps.

[Brandon Luu, MD @BrandonLuuMD]

Students who took notes by hand scored ~28% higher on conceptual questions than laptop note-takers.

Writing forces your brain to process and compress ideas instead of copying them.

[The GCSE Maths Tutor @gcsemathstutor]

From those patterns we identify key topics that need work and then draw from our ELEV8 and REVISE9 worksheet library to fill in the gaps.

1⃣ ELEV8 worksheets ➡️ practice for common misconceptions
2⃣ REVISE9 grids ➡️ structured revision of key topics

This data evolves every year because the QLA tells us what students actually struggle with.

Example of ELEV8 worksheets here: https://t.co/5aGk8rcfZv
