What is the most easily replicable, high impact raising attainment strategy?
🎯
My best bet is ‘Period 0’

A thread 🧵
In my experience, pastoral tutor times are low impact, difficult to plan for and come at a high workload cost

Tutor time is usually at least 20 mins per day, 4 days per week and highly variable in terms of student experience
For year 11, we re-frame tutor time as period 0

1hr20 mins per week of English or maths with an expert

A huge amount of extra time!
How can you do it?
Rank students in English and maths
Weaker in English? English tutor group
Weaker in maths? Maths tutor group

How to staff it?
English and maths year 11 team 🔥

Curriculum time + relationships = high impact
How should teachers plan this time?

Maths - PRACTICE, my eyes were opened to this working with the phenomenal @PatersonDT @Behaviour_Guy and @SamLanahan

English - the most important knowledge students need, check out @amycoombe3011’s blog
Does it work?
Our schools at @athenalearning_ are early in this journey…

Luckily we can stand on the shoulders of giants who’ve had significant impact in raising attainment in multiple settings, sustained over time
