At times and when it is felt appropriate, modifications to the curriculum may be implemented. To successfully match pupil ability to the curriculum Ramshaw Primary School remain committed to:
A range of teaching and learning styles
- Specifically targeted intervention groups
- Differentiated learning materials
- Access to ICT and Technology
- Additional in class support
- Additional out of class support
- Many Enrichment and Enjoyment opportunities to stimulate and motivate learning
- Flexible groupings – including small group support work
- An innovative and supportive curriculum
- The appropriate use of rewards and sanctions
- A broad range of extra-curricular activities, including homework club, one to one support and booster/extension sessions
- Assessment procedures that emphasise pupils’ strengths and achievements
- Applications during national testing at Key Stage 2 to obtain access arrangements as appropriate
Throughout school and in all lessons, all work within class is pitched at an appropriate level so that all children are able to access according to their specific needs – this is often called personalised learning. Typically this might mean that in a lesson there would be three different levels of work set for the class, however on occasions this can be individually differentiated
The benefit of this type of differentiation is that all children can access a lesson and learn at their level.
At Ramshaw, we also have systems in place where children are set for Numeracy and Literacy so that they are working at an appropriate level for their capabilities.
This system ensures children are engaged, motivated and have access to the knowledge and skills they require at the particular point in their learning. This system sometimes involves movement between classes on a morning and mixed-age classes but all children return to work with their peers on an afternoon. Another system that is used is that of mixed age classes based on the children’s levels.
