Things to think about

Our pupils and staff contribute to identifying their own next steps and learning goals through dialogue based on feedback and evidence of learning.
We encourage pupils to plan and record next steps in learning through the personal learning planning process, for example future goals are agreed with pupils and recorded in useful ways, such as in diaries, learning logs, comment record, progress file, etc.
We provide regular opportunities for pupils and staff to develop the habit of thinking about their own learning.
