The Redhill Routines
Dream
Our dream is for all children at Redhill to:
Love learning, possess genuine curiosity and excitement about the world around them and achieve academic success
Have the confidence to be themselves whilst celebrating others and their unique differences
Be happy, have fun at school and be supported with their mental and physical wellbeing whilst making lasting memories
Consistently demonstrate kindness, respect and thoughtfulness as part of a vibrant, supportive and loving community
Contribute to a culture of positivity and challenge in a safe environment where they learn without limits, are not afraid to take risks and can realise their full potential
Be fully prepared, inspired and enthusiastic for their future life in modern Britain
Believe
Our routines have been carefully designed, developed and adapted over many years in order to distil them in to their key components and provide a clearly recognisable, research-based and context-specific structure to all of our lessons and learning sequences.
Each routine provides a basic outline for building and enhancing learning in their specific subject areas whilst also enabling flexibility to allow teachers to continue to adapt lessons to their own strengths as well as their children’s unique needs each year.
By using simple, clear symbols, children are consistently reminded of their progress through a lesson and a subject whilst also having the expectations for independence and effort subtly and regularly reinforced during their learning.
Furthermore, these routines provide consistency across all year groups which enables smooth transitions between year groups and a clear framework for analysing and improving the effectiveness of the different stages within our lessons.
Achieve
Our aim is for every class to use consistent routines for their learning with recognisable, visual symbols which enable children to be aware of and understand the entire process of engaging with new content. Once the routine is embedded, children should be able to recognise the symbols from each daily lesson and link back to previous pieces of work to support them in continually developing their understanding and ability. In most lessons, the symbol for the stage of the process that the children have reached is clearly displayed in order to support this.
Through using our routines, we aim to maximise pupil learning in lessons and sequences of lessons; support children in developing their independence and passion for learning; provide a framework for analysing lessons to support the continual professional development of all staff; and create a viable, research-based and context-specific approach of learning to meet the needs of all our pupils
