| Strategy |
| Each aspect of the project is
designed to promote both early intervention for children with learning difficulties and
also the raising of achievement in the early years by using certain approaches to teaching
and learning. |
| Numeracy project |
| To increase significantly the
attainment in national test results for Level A maths in P1 and P2 in one school, with a
disadvantaged social and attainment profile. Then to extend the project into all schools
in the same town. Nursery classes will also be involved in this extension in order to
demonstrate that focused numeracy activities at that stage can contribute to achievement.
|
| Literacy project |
| To raise pupil attainment and
raise awareness of the importance of parental involvement in the development of literacy.
There are 7 key targets for the project, directly linked to the P1s in How Good is our
School? |
| Related strategies are the
appointment of seconded development officers for each part of the project, additional
nursery nurses and a home-school link worker for the literacy project, development of
programmes of work for the early stages, video material for staff development, staff
development sessions, additional teaching resources. |
