Back to Basics!
On Monday of this week Head of Physics and Duke of Edinburgh Coordinator Miss Booth led a really great Monday Magic Moment in our packed Staff Briefing.
Re-visiting our expectations related to the use of our orange verbal feedback sticker, she gave lots of practical suggestions to staff to help them use this simple but effective tool in a smart but meaningful way, as we continue to maximise the progress of all learners at BMS.
As we keep sharing best practice in this way I have no doubt that our teaching and learning pedagogy will continue to improve in all classrooms across the school.
It was a great start to another positive week.
