ABSTRACT

Person responsible for this part of the audit:

Our short-term planning is derived from the medium-term plan and addresses all work to be undertaken by pupils over a short period, e.g. two weeks, one week or a day https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table"> STRENGTH WEAKNESS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Our short-term planning uses the results of assessment to address the needs of individual pupils and as far as possible involves pupils in the process so that they begin to have ownership of their own learning. https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table"> STRENGTH WEAKNESS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

The key elements of our short-term plans are:

learning objectives;

learning activities, including arrangements for differentiation

assessment and an indication of future work;

evaluation;

special resources;

time allocation.

In our short-term planning, the broad objectives identified in our medium-term plans are broken down into achievable specific learning objectives matching the needs of the pupils. https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table"> STRENGTH WEAKNESS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Achievement or non-achievement of the learning objectives are recorded in our short-term planning documents and this is used to inform future planning, ensuring effective differentiation and facilitating matching to pupils’ learning needs. https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table"> STRENGTH WEAKNESS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Our short-term plans are detailed daily or weekly plans written by class teachers and appropriate records are used to ensure effective day-to-day teaching and assessment. They include suitably differentiated pupil activities based on clear learning objectives. https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table"> STRENGTH WEAKNESS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Whilst being in a similar format to the medium-term plan, our short-term planning has a more precise focus for learning objectives for groups of children or individuals, and also addresses teaching strategies such as style, grouping and methods of differentiation. https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table"> STRENGTH WEAKNESS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Our short-term planning facilitates adequate differentiation and provides a balance of different types of activity throughout the week. https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table"> STRENGTH WEAKNESS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Our short-term planning aims provides an appropriate pace of learning and allows for mcnitoring, evaluating and (if required) modifying the medium-term plan. https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table"> STRENGTH WEAKNESS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

The formative and diagnostic assessments in our short-term planning are inextricably linked. https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table"> STRENGTH WEAKNESS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Our short-term planning contains clearly defined, achievable learning objectives ensuring that formative assessment is manageable. https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table"> STRENGTH WEAKNESS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Our learning objectives are related to the National Curriculum (when appropriate). https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table"> STRENGTH WEAKNESS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

The workload with respect to short-term planning here has been kept to the minimum necessary to achieve the required outcomes. https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table"> STRENGTH WEAKNESS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
