Synopsis
Park Lane Primary are looking at different learning styles to raise pupil self esteem, accelerate progress and foster pupil participation in their learning.
Teacher Pippa McGeoch removed ability settings in her Year 6 class with very positive results. Students became more motivated when working together with learning partners and sitting at mixed ability tables.
In a maths lesson about co-ordinates, differentiation is achieved through the choice of success criteria. They peer assess each others letter-writing, focusing on informal language.
Students are also actively involved in the planning process, providing them with ownership of what they learn.
Headteacher Martin Francis monitors the effectiveness of these collaborative learning strategies.

New to AfL
At our school we are currently identifying which areas of AfL we are already covering and looking for ways to improve our practice. This film is well worth a watch for inspiration and ideas that are working.

The school featured in this film show how they have practically implemented the philosophy of assessment for learning. This is such a useful starting point for reviewing how we involve young people in their learning and what impact it can have not only on attainment but on their attitudes and motivation as learners.
