Teaching and Learning at CVPS

Aims and Purpose

We recognise that any attempts to further raise standards at Cramlington Village Primary must be focused upon the quality of teaching and learning in the classroom. Continued and sustained improvement is dependent upon improving the quality of teaching and learning that is taking place on a daily basis. Across our school the expectation is that all pupils are provided with high quality learning experiences that lead to consistently high levels of achievement for all pupils. The aim of this document is to help the teachers in the school become the most effective practitioners they can be by using principles established from evidence based best practice research, cognitive science and experience.

By adopting a whole school approach to teaching and learning across our school, we aim:
• to ensure consistency of teaching and learning in each classroom and enable teachers to teach as effectively as possible
• to create effective learning environments to support and facilitate pupils learning
• to give children the skills they require to become effective lifelong learners
• to learn from each other, creating a culture where opportunities for sharing good practice are in place
• achieve deep understanding, by helping children connect new knowledge with existing knowledge so they are fluent and unconsciously competent at applying their knowledge as skills
• deliver academic excellence and secure knowledge into long-term memory through developing secure schemas with connected networks of ideas
• enable children to become confident and interested learners, actively engaged in their own learning
• develop children’s self-respect and respect for the cultures and values of others
• develop core learning behaviours
