Holy Trinity CE Primary School is committed to improving outcomes for pupils and the professional development of our staff team.

Teacher Research Groups have provided staff with opportunities for:

- Research and Reading

-Joint planning opportunities

-Team teaching

During the team teaching stage the staff observe the lesson and discuss strengths and areas of development. 

As a staff we are as committed to learning as what our pupils are.

During the summer term 2017 our focus was the introduction of the bar model method as a pedagogical tool for teaching basic computation and problem solving.

Our focus for the autumn term 2017 is the teaching of writing - the use of quality texts and teacher modelling/guided writing to support outstanding outcomes in writing.

Aims: To improve teaching through; research, collaborative planning, joint lesson observations and professional pedagogical dialogue.
