Welcome to the home page of the Primary Team in the Learning &
School Effectiveness Service, which is in turn, part of the
Achievement and Inclusion Division of the Department for
Children and Young People.
The Primary Team operates within the vision, values and guiding
principals of the council; its work is particularly
focused on meeting the goals set out in
South Gloucestershire's Charter for Children and Young People.
The strategic work of the team is embedded in the
Single Plan
for Children and Young People.
The Primary Team supports schools and pre-school settings in
interpreting and promoting national and local strategies for the
improvement of learning for children from birth to the end of
their primary education.
Its work is not only to develop teaching by individual
practitioners, but also to support the continual improvement of
the leadership, management and governance in schools and
pre-school settings.
Our goal is to ensure that children achieve high standards by
enjoying a broad curriculum and a rich experience of learning
within and beyond the school day.

Early Years Advisers

The team is led by the Senior Adviser (Primary), supported by
the Early Years and Primary Strategy Manager, and includes:
- Lead School Improvement Partners (SIPs);
- Teaching & Learning Advisers and Consultants; and
- Early Years Foundation Stage Advisory Teachers.
In 2006 South Gloucestershire became one of the first Local
Authorities to employ a number of additional part-time SIPs,
including current South Gloucestershire head teachers, to
undertake close work with schools on its behalf. We also
regularly draw on the expertise of Advanced Skills Teachers and
Leading Teachers / Practitioners across a range of specialist
areas of learning.
Our work in schools includes the key functions of monitoring,
support, challenge and intervention, as set out in the Council's
School Improvement Policy. The Team's key tasks include:
- Providing head teachers, governors and a wide range of
other staff with advice, support and guidance on
self-evaluation and securing their own improvement;
- Promoting the local implementation of the Primary
National Strategy, including specific areas such as Early
Years Foundation Stage, literacy, mathematics and languages;
- Promoting local and national strategies for cross-phase
developments in areas such as PE & Sport, Music, The Arts or
Extended Schools; and
- Identifying, disseminating and promoting effective
practice, through training, direct support in schools /
settings, networks, the website and other electronic media.
Much of this activity is a general entitlement for all schools and
settings, but the team also undertakes targeted work in the small number
of schools or settings which need additional support. The Primary
Team works closely with colleagues in the Learning and School
Effectiveness Service and across the wider Achievement and Inclusion
Division to monitor the effectiveness of schools and settings and to
take action where necessary to secure improvement. |
