Two types of interventions for improving academic outcomes

# data[].attributes.body
We have 2 types of interventions for improving academic outcomes:

1. At KS3 we mainly focus on developing students’ literacy and/ or numeracy, in order to remove immediate barriers to their learning.

We use various literacy and numeracy interventions as part of our ‘Developing Fluency’ programme.  Details of these interventions, and the intervention pathways we use, are found on the posts below.

Students that are part of this programme receive a letter home to inform families at the start of this intervention. They also receive a termly Developing Fluency Reports which is sent home to share progress in literacy and/or numeracy.

2. At KS4 we mainly focus on subject specific interventions, but we continue to work with targeted students who still need additional literacy and numeracy support.

Developing Fluency Programme - KS3 Literacy Booster class (Sept 2022 onwards)

# data[].attributes.body
This is a highly targeted intervention pathway in the Developing Fluency Programme.

KS3 students who are identified with a reading age below 8 will be grouped in a smaller class for English, MFL, History and Geography lessons.

In these subjects, students will receive a range of different interventions (outlined in post above).

Students who make accelerated progress in the Literacy Booster class are able to move out into a different class.

Students with a reading age of below 8 complete a phonics screening and if appropriate will receive intensive phonics support in Year 7 & 8, in place of MFL lessons.
