Maximising Pupil Progress

Description

Background

The majority of non-association independent schools admit pupils through referrals from local authority commissioners. At the point of referral, pupils tend to have gaps in their education, sometimes as long as 2 years. The majority of the time, pupils are referred at non-standard times, in the middle of key stages. They don’t spend the full 7 years of primary or secondary education in one school. For this reason, teachers have limited time in which to support pupils to learn and make progress. This workshop outlines strategies for making sure that learning takes place and that pupils make pro gress in the limited time they have.
