Draft presentation to staff

1. Achieving a culture of excellence

2. Why do we teach? “All the evidence from different education systems around the world shows that the most important factor in determining how well children do is the quality of teachers and teaching.” Barber, M. and Mourshed, M. (2007) How the World’s Best Performing School Systems Came Out On Top, McKinsey and Company.

3. Why do we teach? “an individual pupil taught for three consecutive years by a teacher in the top ten per cent of performance can make as much as two years more progress than a pupil taught for the same period by a teacher in the bottom ten per cent of performance.” Sanders, W. L., and Rivers, J. C. (1996), Cumulative and residual effects of teachers on future students academic achievement, Knoxville, TN: University of Tennessee Value-Added Research and Assessment Center.

4. Why do we teach! “You can have the best curriculum, the best infrastructure, and the best policies, but if you don’t have good teachers then everything is lost..” Barber, M. and Mourshed, M. (2007) How the World’s Best Performing School Systems Came Out On Top, McKinsey and Company.

5. Why do we teach? This is a good school. Pupils run into school, eager to start learning, and saunter out, in no hurry to leave, because they enjoy what they do. They often stay late in order to attend the many different after-school clubs. They say, 'You don't know you are learning but you really are!' This is because they are well taught and they follow a very interesting curriculum which they help to design. Pupils achieve well to reach average attainment in English and mathematics by the end of Year 6 from their low starting points in the Nursery. The school has several outstanding elements which have a significant impact on pupils' motivation to learn and their future aspirations. Outstanding partnerships with parents and carers and excellent leadership and management of teaching and learning underpin pupils' good, and sometimes excellent, progress. Pupils are extremely well cared for. They are given outstanding support and guidance and as a result their behaviour and contribution to the community are excellent. Their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is outstanding, reflecting the school's excellent provision for this part of pupils' education. Marshlands Primary School – Goole .
