From the start I need to acknowledge and thank some amazing colleagues who worked incredibly hard to produce the first version of this document and then incredibly generously shared it with so many schools within our local area.
Thank you: VikkiBaker-Gunnill, WarrenBeadell, AliClarke, Zoe Evans, Jen Johnson, Clare Slowther and Steve Summerton.
I would also like to thank the staff at Cornerstone CE Primary who have then spent time reviewing the document and adapting it for our use in school.
When you first look at it you might be slightly put off by the detail in each domain within each subject . I encouraged our staff to slim down the detail, but they said they would rather keep them, as it was helpful for pitching the learning, supporting their planning and seeing the progression over year groups.
Staff are able to assess each domain. At the end of the year they all complete the “EYE 1 2 3” and the “Effort / Attitude” columns. This is an overall for each child for the whole year. These overall numbers are the grades that then go on the end of year report for parents. These overall grades are also then used by Subject Leaders to track standards in their subject (the Excel spreadsheet produces the percentages for Subject Leaders).
The 1, 2 and 3 criteria has been created by us as a staff team and is reviewed each year. It is also the same criteria we use for English and Maths.
The aim is to make it helpful for teachers with planning, with a minimum of time recording numbers, and quick and useful for Subject Leaders.
Please feel free to adapt, use or ignore as you wish.
