Joint Curriculum Planning Clause Samples

Joint Curriculum Planning. Within a priority based timetable for subject areas the school’s will discuss, review and revise schemes of work in order to avoid over repetition and to ensure progression in content and challenge and continuity in methodology. Priority areas will be agreed for this Transition Plan. Where appropriate, in order to help pupils during transition, bridging units of work will be agreed, to be begun in Y6 and built upon in Y7. Responsibility: Primary headteacher and Y6 teacher and subject leader Subject leader ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. High School Transition Co-ordinator, Head of Department and Y7 teachers Head of Department / KS3 co-ordinator ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

Where it will benefit pupils on entry to high school some training of teachers from the primary school will be provided by specialist teachers from the high school e.g. the graphic design teacher will demonstrate the use of the KS2 2D Design software to Y6 teachers. Y6 pupils will then learn the basic skills of using that software, a more complex version of which is used in the high school. Assessment information for core subject areas will be exchanged between both establishments to inform teachers and to help ensure the appropriate teaching for pupils. Teachers will work together so that assessment processes are understood and so that the outcomes of assessments are consistent within the feeder school group. Opportunities will be taken to ensure that teachers from both phases moderate standards of pupils’ work together in line with expected Welsh Assembly Government requirements. Levelling of work in the foundation subjects will be carried out for Y6 pupils so that teachers in Y7 have prior information about standards as well as increasing information on content and skills development in subjects.
