Peer observation - Overview 🔭

“The English Department at Repton Al Barsha offer a diverse and varied approach to the English curriculum in a calm and purposeful setting, with schemes of work that not only inspire a creative approach to Literature, but also provides a solid foundation of a range of challenging texts for students that progresses throughout the phases. These schemes of work are scaffolded thoroughly, allowing for ease of access for those students with a lower level of attainment, however, this could be limiting the higher achieving students due to limited opportunities for independence and perceptive thought.”

Peer observation - Strengths 💊

Delivery of challenging content

“Across all phases, the majority of students are able to make better than expected progress due to the challenging content delivered. Students as young as Y7 can confidently access iGCSE content, if only in a explanatory manner. This consistent exposure to challenging texts not only develops students' vocabulary and understanding, but also allows for a lighter-touch approach to certain exam texts at iGCSE, allowing for more time for mastery of coursework.”

Expectations of students

“During all lessons observed, teachers delivered task instructions with clear expectations and success criteria with effective scaffolding in place to encourage students to reach at least the minimum expectations. As a result of this, students produce a significant amount of work during the allocated lesson time, which is a clear indication of progress made.”
