Approach to Learning

We track students’ attitude towards their learning by using our Approach to Learning descriptors  (see below). This is aimed to motivate and highlight intervention opportunities for each student within each subject area to ensure progress is continuous each term. We believe that students who demonstrate that they are effective will attain and achieve across their subjects.

These ATL scores will be reported home throughout our 3 termly data entry points and be accumulated to give an ATL average score which will be used to track students’ whole school performance through our Marriotts Way Learning Zone and trigger teacher and year team recognition, rewards and interventions.

 The Marriotts Way Learning Zone

As a way of tracking our students’ success and progress we will be using our Marriotts Way Learning Zone to highlight and monitor where we believe students are meeting the expectations of the school and its motto of Aim high, Work hard, Be kind. These zones will encompass the following key areas we are confident will bring all round success here at Marriotts:

 ATL subject grades

Behaviour, Respect and Conduct – The Marriotts Way

There will be clear communication regarding students’ zone through each termly report with the first report home to parents anticipated to be at the end of October. Each Zone will have specific triggers for rewards, recognition, and interventions respectively.

 There are regular Raising Standard Leader assemblies to recognise the Learner Zone achievement of students and there is a Stop-Start-Continue process in each term for students to gain feedback from their teachers and have a chance to set targets towards improving their ATL scores ahead of the next Termly report.
