together.

Cambridge students are very well-
prepared for our curriculum and we find
that they have a lot of confidence, but also
that they have good deep subject

Introduction to the Cambridge Approach
The Cambridge approach to teaching and learning
is a collaboration between the teachers and the
learners.
1. The role of the teachers is to plan and deliver
exciting and interesting lessons.
2. The role of the learner is to engage, to ask
questions, to apply existing knowledge and to
develop new ideas, skills and strategies.
![Page 12: Presentation main title can go over three or four lines if … · Jolly Phonics programme. This is taught and rehearsed each morning. Guided Reading + Phonics Spellings.

• This cycle of planning, teaching,
consolidation, feedback and
assessment describes all of the
work that the teachers do in the
classroom at our school.

Assessment
• Assessment is central
to our teaching, both
formative and
summative.
• Assessment helps
teachers to plan for the
next steps in learning.

Learning Ladders
Learning Ladders is an ongoing assessment tool.
Teachers use this each week to track children's progress.
This helps teachers to record what information the
children have learned and what information the children
need to know.
This assists with revision and planning future lessons.
Termly reports are based upon the children's ongoing
progress records on Learning Ladders and the test results
at the end of each term.

Self Assessment
1. With teacher feedback we aim for the students to
become more reflective so they will begin to self assess.
2. A reflective learner will be one that is anxious to improve
and to do better every time.
3. This will help our students to become more:
CONFIDENT REFLECTIVE
INNOVATIVE ENGAGED

Reading
Reading is essential. Your
child should read for at least
ten minutes every day.

Studies show that the
amount of time spent
reading is directly linked to
the students academic
scores.
