Foundations of Teaching and Learning  

At Deeplish we have some consistent approaches that have become part of our unique offer and form the basis for our teaching and learning principles: 

• A progressively mapped curriculum from EYFS to Year 6 that focuses on both the ‘small chunks’ of knowledge and skills that need to be taught. 
• Co-constructed working walls 
• Triads of expertise (INA, SEND and PP champions in every year group) 
• Three teacher model 
• Marking in the moment 
• Eliciting what children already know 
• Oracy rich classrooms with a focus on teaching vocabulary progressively, collaborative strategies and ELKLAN approaches to support language development 
• A purposeful approach to questioning  
• A consistent approach to using scaffolds and models to support teaching (InPrint, Concrete Maths Resources, Knowledge Mats) 
• Experiential learning that provides sensory experiences
