Example note: History Disciplinary knowledge

INTENT

Teaching should equip pupils to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. History helps pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change , the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups , as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time.

1. A cross-school group of staff will revise, revisit and present a curriculum pedagogy update of key features to support effective learning. This will help cement into staff long term memory. 2. Further develop the use of new technology to revise and resists assessment and workload leading to smarter knowledge of what pupils know and can do. This will also support workload and workforce retention. One key element will be the revision of peer/self assessment that pupils complete to increase effectiveness and self- awareness. 3. Develop and sharpen staff knowledge of the curricula disciplinary knowledge so that the overarching aims of the national curriculum are strengthened; EYFS curriculum will strengthen preparedness for KS1.

Current situaton as at Spring 2023. The school has successfully become a hard-federaton the Infant school good S5 (May ’13) & again S8 October 2017 & March 2023; the Junior School Good (May ’15) S5 & again December 2019 S8. Our school is a racially harmonious community, which we celebrate widely and are proud of. We are highly commited to raising standards. Our IDACI rank is 9488 out of 32844 placing us in the botom 30% for deprivaton. KS2 is housed in a Victorian building built in 1901; KS1 has benefted from a partal new-build (Summer 2019); EYFS is in two separate blocks. We are part of a ffeen-school cluster who have successfully supported each other through a planned programme of network meetngs for middle and senior leaders. Additonally, the school is part of the Oakham Alliance and an afliate partner to the University of Wolverhampton -providing BA (Hons) places to support new teacher training recruits. We are commited to developing our staf and run a range of CPD for teaching and non-teaching staf at all levels. Succession planning is strong and a number of staf have completed NPQML and NPQSL. Also, the HT fulfls the role as ‘School Improvement Advisor’ for a range of demographically diferent schools in the West Midlands providing training, support and challenge to the schools and their middle, senior and Governing Body teams as well as being both a lead and additonal Inspector (both Graded & Ungraded) for OFSTED since 2007 – this supports the school with self-evaluaton. Despite extraordinarily challenging budget forecasts, leaders have been proactve in reducing commitments and ensuring that appropriate support is in place for learners, without the need for any redundancy. Leaders have made sensible and strategic curriculum adaptatons to help mitgate Covid-19. Leaders at all levels contribute to ensuring that the quality of educaton is good and the school has received a number of awards supportng the self-evaluaton of the quality of curriculum. Our mission statement drives the strategic decision taken by leaders. [NOTE: Leaders can be read as ‘leaders at all levels’]

Expectations by Summer 2024 – Overarching outcomes statement.

In Y1,3,4,5 the proportion of children making expected and better than expected progress against the school’s own curriculum is 90%/35%.

In Y2 & Y6 the school’s attainment places us close to Fischer Family Trust (FFT) 20 therefore in the top 20% of schools for progress. (Note below re: published assessment information)

In EYFS the Good level of Development (GLD) remains at national or above; the proportion of pupils making good progress against the school’s curriculum is 90%/35% (pending new year baseline assessment)

Pupil premium children attainment and progress match the non-pupil premium in-school group and diminish the difference to the national non-disadvantaged group or is rapidly improving.

Science Disciplinary knowledge Teaching should develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. Develop understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science through different types of science enquiries that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them. Equip pupils with the scientific knowledge required to understand the uses and implications of science, today and for the future. Working scientifically - observing over time; pattern seeking; identifying, classifying and grouping; comparative and fair testing (controlled investigations); and researching using secondary sources . Pupils should seek answers to questions through collecting, analysing and presenting data. DT Disciplinary knowledge Design and technology is an inspiring, rigorous and practical subject. Using creativity and imagination, pupils design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values . Pupils learn how to take risks, becoming resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens. Through the evaluation of past and present design and technology, they develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world. High-quality design and technology education makes an essential contribution to the creativity, culture, wealth and well-being of the nation.

History Disciplinary knowledge Teaching should equip pupils to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments, and develop perspective and judgement. History helps pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change , the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups , as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time.

Geography Disciplinary knowledge

Art Disciplinary knowledge Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity . A high-quality art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge pupils , equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design . As pupils progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. They should also know how art and design both reflect and shape our history , and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation. Evaluate and analyse; become proficient.

A high-quality geography education should i nspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. Teaching should equip pupils with knowledge about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments , together with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human processes . As pupils progress, their growing knowledge about the world should help them to deepen their understanding of the interaction between physical and human processes , and of the f ormation and use of landscapes and environments. Geographical knowledge, understanding and skills provide the frameworks and approaches that explain how the Earth’s features at different scales are shaped, interconnected and change over time.

Computing Disciplinary knowledge

PE Disciplinary knowledge A high-quality physical education curriculum i nspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities . It should provide opportunities for pupils to become p hysically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness . Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.

MFL Disciplinary knowledge

Music Disciplinary knowledge Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. A high- quality music education should engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians , and so i ncrease their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement . As pupils progress, they should develop a critical engagement with music, allowing them to compose , and to l isten with discrimination to the best in the musical canon.

A high-quality languages education should f oster pupils’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world . The teaching should enable pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers , both in speech and in writing . It should also provide opportunities for them to communicate for practical purposes , learn new ways of thinking and read great literature in the original language. Language teaching should provide the foundation for learning further languages, equipping pupils to study and work in other countries.

Use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. Provide insights into both natural and artificial systems . Taught the principles of information and computation , how digital systems work , and how to put this knowledge to use through programming . Use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content. Become digitally literate – able to use, and express themselves and develop their ideas through, information and communication technology ready for a digital world.
