Please note: you're not required to have a teaching and learning policy, and Ofsted doesn't expect you to have one.
Our model:
- Takes account of relevant requirements, guidance and good practice
- Is approved by Forbes Solicitors
- Is easy to adapt to save you time
It covers:
- What good teaching and learning looks like
- Roles and responsibilities of staff, pupils, parents and governors to help make this happen
- How this ties into other policies you may have, such as curriculum, assessment, and marking and feedback policies
Examples: primary schools
