Introduction

ASK Framework

Introduction

Attitudes, Skills, Knowledge (ASK) is the common language of learning we use to support students’ progress.

Teachers comment specifically upon students’ attitudes which are consistent across all curriculum teams.  Teachers will expect these attitudes to be demonstrated by all members of the Shenley Brook End School community.  The tracking grid for attitudes does not change.

Our attitudes underpin how we interact with each other inside and outside of the classroom and play a vital role in fostering a positive community. We have three attitudes which are 'We are kind, we work hard and we are respectful'.  Our attitude trackers will be used in discussion with student's and will be reported on at each academic review point. We will also use our attitudes to check engagement in our 5D Baccalaureate. 

These are reported as follows:

Mastering (highest level), Progressing, Developing and Launching

Teachers also consider students’ skills and knowledge in each subject in forming a progress assessment. Tracking grids for subject specific  skills and knowledge progress across the year groups, in order to demonstrate increasing rigour.  Teachers make tracking grids available to students at the beginning of schemes of learning, sharing routes of progression. You will see these referenced in students’ exercise book for each subject.
