Next Steps

  • School to continue links with the College of HE (School of Education), in particular to develop schemes of work for science and advice on teaching science as non-specialists in non-specialist rooms, and developing work for more able pupils.
  • Approach to Year 7 adopted for a second year, with changes to curriculum content and approaches, and teaching strategies and learning styles, introduced from the outset.
  • Ensure that the impact of the project is not reduced by the movement of staff out of Year 7 and Band Y, and that new staff are inducted appropriately.
  • Ensure that the expertise of the project manager and assistant are disseminated to all members of the new Year 7 Band Y team.
