Experiencing change

Description

Up and down the country schools are implementing their new secondary curriculum. But the big question is - how do we know it's having an impact? Honywood Community Science School introduced their new curriculum in 2005. For over three years they have been evaluating and improving it, using a range of tools to constantly question the impact they are having. These tools include teacher, peer and self-assessment. Their curriculum has evolved to include seven Focus Days throughout the year for all pupils. This programme follows three Year 9 pupils on one of these Focus Days , as they assess the challenges they have face and the skills they re developing. Deputy Headteacher Caroline Gibson traces the development of the pupil's self-assessment over time, including the skills booklet, which provides a personalised log of skills development.
