  3. Current provision in Oakgrove IPS As your child enters Key Stage Two (Primary 5-7) in Oakgrove IPS they are set for both Literacy and Numeracy lessons each day. Your child was set at the beginning of Primary 5 based on their end of Key Stage One assessment results and their teachers’ observations. This has allowed your child to continue to achieve their full individual potential and maintain their self –esteem by providing them with work which is challenging but also set for their ability level. As part of our aim of promoting high achievement and learning for life for all children we feel this is the best way for catering for all of your children’s needs. The set which your child has been placed in has been monitored by teachers on an ongoing basis through class observations, the use of levels and end of year assessments.

  6. How do we ensure children are challenged? Each year the children do a variety of assessments. They are then analysed by the class teacher and School Management Team to track their progress e.g.

  7. How do we ensure children are challenged? • The children are also levelled each year of their school career. Children and teachers are set targets with regards to their class. This is used to target individual children, groups and classes for extra support/ resources. • The children are levelled in: • Reading • Writing • Talking and Listening • Maths

  8. Assessment Levels • Level Descriptors Given to Parents (Website) • Levels shared with pupils in the course of their work • Levels indicated on the learning plan that pupils bring home

  9. The Oakgrove Way • So each year with teachers knowing what level children are, they can ensure: • Work set is at an appropriate level for your child • Work set is challenging your child • Your child is progressing • The school is performing in line with Northern Ireland expectation

  10. Curriculum Provision In order to provide the best for all children in P6/P7 we : • Set all children into appropriate level teaching groups for Maths and English. • Give appropriately challenging homework for each child according to their ability and needs • Encourage use of the P6 and P7 areas of the school website, which now provides excellent resources, to stretch and challenge children in Maths and English as well as other areas across the curriculum in a fun and interactive manner. • In the curriculum Area • Share with parents assessment levels and discuss ways parents can continue to support their children.

  11. Post Primary School Transfer Arrangements • Admission criteria for all post primary schools are available from WELB and directly from each school. • Most of our children transfer to Oakgrove Integrated College. Currently their criteria guarantees a place for our children if they name the College as their first preference.
