Last Friday in our Friday Faculty Foci one of our dedicated and hardworking Maths teachers Mrs Selliah shared with all staff her smart idea for easily capturing ‘next steps’ after a half term topic test. Along with her colleagues she has designed a simple proforma which students could easily complete to indicate what they have succeeded in and which topics and skills they needed to prioritise in their future learning. The proforma encourages students to Red Amber Green (RAG) their understanding which visually shows which topics and skills need further securing.

This RAGGING exercise is then revisited after a few weeks to ensure the skills are embedded over time. It was a simple but effective way to identify clear targets for improvement along the learning journey of progress and improvement. Many colleagues commented how effective this strategy is and how it is being replicated across other subjects in the school.
