Work with teaching assistants-
Many of our highly skilled teaching assistants run intervention groups as well as give invaluable support in each class. Overall throughout the school this has ensured that all FSM and LAC children make at least the expected progress and many of them make better than expected progress. The exception to this is Year 2 in writing however, the children who have not made expected progress over the Key stage have made good progress within the year due to accessing the Reading Recovery Programme.
