 Our Quality First Teaching Commitment for All Children

 At The District CE:

• We insist on high expectations from all.

• We aim to develop a secure knowledge of all our pupils, their learning needs and the curriculum. We aim to overcome barriers through fluid groupings, appropriately differentiated support and high expectations.

• Staff are well organised and prepared, planning and providing effective, quality learning opportunities and experiences for all pupils to ensure good progress.

• Staff give quality feedback to pupils and model standard English.

• Positive relationships are fostered through mutual respect, high expectations and modelling of good manners and behaviours.

• Our pupils demonstrate positive learning attitudes, self-discipline and self-help skills.

• Teaching promotes resilience and stamina, learning from mistakes and always strives for excellence.
