focus of the leadership team and this has given us an insight of what and how the children learn in the classroom also how they see themselves as learners. There has been a gradual release of responsibilities associated with the DELT Project to ensure all staff are confident and have a strong understanding of what is involved. At St Agatha’s we have introduced five dispositions which we use across all areas of our teaching and the dispositions of Resilience, Persistence, Engaged, Reflective and Self Directed have become common language throughout the school in all areas of our students learning in and out of the classroom. At the end of each term teaching staff are given a planning day to prepare for the upcoming term. Part of this release time is dedicated to Religious Education for teachers to develop and prepare units of work which ensures all the mandatory requirements are being met by each year level and that there is continuity across all classes and links are made with the Religious Life of the School. Teachers are also given opportunity to work with our EORE for additional support and guidance. The APRE and CST work with teaching each term to ensure they are adequately supported during the planning process. Further time is also made available to work with EORE during the year to help to provide feedback and extra guidance with planning and use of resources to compliment learning. Teachers are given opportunity to reflect on unit of work taught and are encouraged to make adjustments, seek feedback and add additional resources which complement and improve the quality of the work they produce for the following year. The scope and sequence document is continually referred to and renewed each year by year level staff and APRE to ensure that all mandatory requirements are being met and all planning, teaching, assessing and reporting of the Religious curriculum is of the highest quality. Each unit of work is a working document and all teachers are encouraged to continually make adjustments to unit when and necessary. The scope and sequence document is used when planning for each term. Communicating to our parents and wider community. St Agatha’s invests heavily in very open and transparent with communication in all areas of school life including Religious Education with what is being taught in the classroom and how it is being taught, assessed and reported. At the start of each term the Religious Life of the School calendar is attached to the School Newsletter and also the Parish Newsletter.
