Session 1
The New Ofsted Framework:
A View from a Science Lesson
Handout – The New Framework (Pages 44-50)
(Full document is shared on Lancs NGfL)
The new framework
Introduction
oNew Ofsted Framework: September 2015oJudged against your own school policies – no expected styleso“Evidence over time”
General Points
oDefinite reinforcement of judgements based on evidence of good teaching over an extended period of timeoStudent interviews, work scrutiny, policy matching, short observations, no individual teacher observation grades issued
Teaching and Learning
oQ10oTen key questions to promote reflective and evaluative lesson planningoMatched to new frameworkoLeading to “good” lessonsoConsistently delivered can lead to “outstanding” lessons
Activity 1 – Which lead to the best learning in Science?
oHexagon sort – discuss the statementsoPlace the statements in a hexagonal patternoThree most important at the top oFour beneath those (across middle)oThree at the bottomo15 minutes
Lesson Planning
Activity 2 – Exemplification – what does it mean to us in Science?
oEach table has a different question from the Q10 listoAt your table:
oDiscuss the question, ensure a shared mental understanding
oWrite/draw/record a list of practical activities/ideas/anecdotes that would contribute to a YES answer to this question
o Elect a spokesperson to share with the room (3/4 minutes max per group)
Next Steps
P – Park it for now, I’m not sure how to do this, I need advice and/or training on this aspect. I shall seek help from departmental colleagues who do this well ……
R – Resilience, this may prove challenging or is outside my normal routine but I’m going to try and plan for this to happen
O – Obstacle. The thing that is stopping me from planning this aspect is…… I will pass on this obstacle to …… so that it can be removed.
Break
Session 2
KS3:The Forgotten “Friend”
Handout – KS3
The KS3 programme of study
Reminders
• Current Y7, Y8 and Y9 will all receive NUMBERS attainment measures at KS4 (9-1)
• The demand of the new KS3 has been increased
• How Science Works has become Working Scientifically
• Increased Literacy and Numeracy expectations• Still no external assessment
Measuring Progress…
…without levels (or maybe with levels if you’ve kept them)
The National Expectation:
100 5
In old money L4 C/B
Activity 1
With your shoulder partner:•Describe how you are assessing KS3•Describe what you are reporting to the school monitoring system•Describe what you are reporting to parents
The Lancashire Model
• English and Mathematics have launched• Big uptake of Lancashire schools• Science and MFL will launch in Spring term• Other subjects now beginning pilot phase
Common themes
Four Bands of attainment (A, B, C and D)
Band A – lowest attainers, arriving in Y7 below national expectation
Band D – highest attainers
Each band has a collection of descriptors that describe the skills a student is exhibiting
Works on a best fit model

Activity 2
Using the working scientifically section of the KS3 POS (page 4), identify skills that you would anticipate a Band A student (lowest attainers) might have already.
Remember that the national expectation is that all learners be able to make progress in all these skills by the end of the Key Stage and that a Grade 5 trajectory student should be able to demonstrate a “sound grasp” of all of them
Session 3
