Please note: you're not required to have a teaching and learning policy, and Ofsted doesn't expect you to have one. However, setting a policy is a good way to clarify expectations and help ensure consistency across your school or trust.

Our model:

  • Takes account of relevant requirements, guidance and good practice
  • Is approved by Forbes Solicitors
  • Is easy to adapt to save you time
  • Can be adapted and set at school or trust-level

It covers: 

  • What good teaching and learning looks like
  • Roles and responsibilities of staff, pupils, parents/carers 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
