Responsibility – Treat property and the environment with care, be organised, be accountable, be punctual, meet deadlines, use class time well, use break times to eat and take toilet breaks.

Teaching and Learning Instructional Model
The teaching staff have worked together to create an evidence-based instructional model. By implementing this across the school, our teachers are increasing the consistency of best practice.
The model follows the process of gradual release of responsibility - I do, We do, You do
It uses a cycle of learning as follows:
Engage – success criteria, learning intentions, prior knowledge
Learn – group work, differentiation, explicit teaching
Apply – assessments, independent work
Review – revisit success criteria and learning intentions
