Primary Achievement Strategy
Promoting better outcomes for primary aged children across Sheffield
Focus in 2016-17
• Locality Assessment Leads have supported Y2 and Y6 teachers to ensure that best practice has
has been shared.
• Children at KS1 & KS2 are better prepared for statutory assessment because of the sharing of
of ideas.
• Moderation within localities has been tighter than ever before.
• Forums for the wider sharing of statutory assessment information and the discussion of
misconceptions.
Some ideas for 2017-18
• Work of the Locality Assessment Leads to be a central part of locality action planning.
• Earlier collection of predictions to better support schools.
• Improved moderation activities including the building of portfolios and a focus on Y2 / Y3
transition.
• Increasing involvement of headteachers.

Currently we have …
Primary Leaders Partnership
Secondary & Special
Sector Partnerships
Leaders’ Briefings
Priority Workshops
(e.g. media, mobility, school calendar, etc.)
… the distinctions between these activities were discussed last time.
The suggestion that Learn Sheffield and
PLP are making (to be discussed here
today and tomorrow at PLP) is that we
try a single half termly event next year.
Half Termly Event (8:00 – 10:30)
Part 1 - Primary Forum (leaders only – 45 mins)
Part 2 - Leaders’ Briefing (information sharing - 45 mins)
Part 3 - Themed Workshop (input & discussion – 60 mins)
What do we think of the idea and the ‘starter for ten’ structure?
