Appraisal (Performance Management) is a necessary part of school. These simple documents allow senior leaders to support the development of teachers across school.

The pack contains: Appraisal / Performance Management Documentation Wellbeing Audit Guidance (on how to use the documents) These are particularly effective when used alongside other monitoring documents such as: Lesson Observation Forms https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12234555 Book Monitoring / Scrutiny / Look Forms https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12962218

Our fully revised History Skills Progression Document is a useful planning document for class teachers and subject leaders in supporting their planning and mapping of history through school. This means that class teachers and subject leaders have a very clear progression for ensuring that each historical-enquiry skill and historical concept are increasingly challenging throughout each year group. The document clearly maps out a progression in each of the historical-enquiry skills from the National Curriculum and each of the core concepts in the history curriculum’s Programme of Study. The key skills are then mapped progressively from the Foundation Stage to Upper Key Stage 2, meaning that historical-enquiry skills and historical concepts becoming increasingly challenging throughout the respective keys stages. Each of these progressions can be used as part of a learning objective or success criteria in history lessons. This is also a useful tool to support any conversation with OFSTED to show progression of historical-enquiry skills.

Relative Clause worksheet based on a Bloom’s Taxonomy stepped-approach to teaching grammar. Starts by giving a description of what the grammatical target looks like, before working through increasingly complex levels of difficulty to support children internalising and using the grammar skill independently.

The units covered in these History Subject Knowledge Guides are: Ancient Egyptians Ancient Greeks Ancient Maya Ancient Sumer Anglo-Saxons in Britain Bronze Age Britain Changing Power of British Monarchy Early Islamic Civlisation Indus Valley Iron Age Britain Kingdom of Benin Romans in Britain Shang Dynasty Stone Age Britain Industrial Revolution in Britain Vikings in Britain World War II Each .PDF can be used by class teachers to support their understanding of the topics that may be selected for teaching in a Primary History school curriculum.

Regular use of this will teach children how to infer the meaning of a word by using the contextualised sentences behind them.

Cognitive Learning Strategies Display Cognitive learning strategies are different ways that we can teach children in the classroom to retain new information and draw on information that they already know. They are a vital tool in ensuring that children become lifelong learners inside and outside of the classroom. Teaching children these strategies will make sure that they are able to take on board new information and retain it, while selecting the best methods to store that information for a later date. These cognitive learning strategies cards can be printed, cut and displayed in your classroom as they are taught to children and used as an aide-memoire to support them in identifying the most suitable method for drawing on, and retaining, information. The following learning strategies identified are: repeat, repeat, repeat make a list summarise it in your own words connect to something you know write it down make a rhyme or story test it with yourself or a friend say it in order physically do it teach it to someone elaborate in more detail give it space (come back to it later) draw a picture or diagram dual code with text and pictures learning something else alongside it (interleave) can do, can’t do… yet make a mnemonic or acronym group or pair

Phonics 1:1 intervention to show individual sounds that children can recognise. Excellent way of showing progress in phonics linked to Letters and Sounds progression.

A collection of word and .pdf documents of simple lined paper. These can be used for various causes. The .pdf document can be dragged onto publisher or powerpoint files, or interactive whiteboard software, to give you a lined background. This is useful when modelling writing to young children. You can choose from different sizes of paper, A3, A4, and A5, as well as different orientations (portrait and landscape). I have also made them with different widths between each line: 10mm for younger writers, and 7mm for more experienced writers.

Word lists of all phonic sounds from Phase 2-5. Children read words using the word list of the sound that they are struggling with. Great way for supporting children’s early phonics intervention.
