Teachers and support staff are working to ensure that each child at Parson Street Primary is getting ready for success at the next stage of their learning journey, and that will ultimately give them more choices in life.

Here is a summary of how we are moving forward. We are…

 

• • Giving children who struggle to read the precise support they need to improve.

• • Teaching phonics in such a way as to accelerate the children’s progress.

• • Giving children tools they need to remember what they have been taught.

• • Teaching individual subjects in more depth.

• • Helping children to manage their own behaviour whilst at school.

We are also working to support children to improve their behaviours for learning. We believe that the best way for children to be ready to learn and to take responsibility for their own behaviour, as well as that of others, is to understand what successful learners do. This understanding creates a sense of self-responsibility: children are challenged to be high quality learners which in turn leads to excellent behaviour and children that are next stage ready.

Our Learning Gems help children to take responsibility for helping themselves and each other in lessons and around the school.
