Impact
There is a clear buzz and love of our topics at Bramley Park Academy. It is woven into every part of the day and it is visible across every classroom, down every corridor and on all of our wonderful displays! This in turn impacts data and the higher implementation of home learning, independent and extended writing and teacher’s confidence in teaching foundation subjects. It is clear to see the impact of our curriculum through our topic books, classroom displays and enriched vocabulary and enthusiasm within the children.
- The children believe that they can ACHIEVE and staff in turn have high expectations for all children.
- Use of black pages in topic books have impacted the enthusiasm and pride the children take in their topic work and how they display it.
- Classroom’s are inviting, colourful and celebrate children’s topic work, making them inviting places to be.
- Teachers who feel confident in teaching, delivering and assessing their subject areas can share good practice around school.
- Children have experienced a wide variety of exciting trips and visitors that have broadened their experiences and provided them with enthusiasm to explore topics further themselves outside of school. During the pandemic, children experienced a rich and exciting curriculum online and through our ‘Now Press Play’ equipment to enhance both in school and online learning.
- Improved momentum and stamina for writing both in English and in topic lessons.
- Engagement and celebrating in home learning has strengthened, creating a stronger link with parental involvement.
- Children are exposed to a wider variety of high quality vocabulary via age appropriate texts and the introduction of ‘Knowledge Organisers’. By ensuring children have that exposure there has been a great improvement in the vocabulary children use within their writing and orally.
- More confident teachers as a result of ongoing deep dives, QA cycles and pupil voice scrutinies.
- Shared good practice across all of our Wellspring Academies to showcase our curriculum and strengthen ties between the Wellspring schools.
- A broad and balanced curriculum where pupils achieve and become a well-rounded citizen.
