My AP, Edwina visited back in mid March 2020, just before Covid, a visit for 5 children which lasted for 2 and a half hours and was only cut short as we had a swimming lesson to attend. She then followed up with a 30 minute phone call and made the following comments as to what she wants to see next time.

To be clear I’m not happy with much of the following and believe much is simply her personal preference and not required by the guidelines.

Copying directly her written notes regards my Samples of Work:

  • dated
  • enough samples to show continued application
  • samples to show progress and achievement
  • samples in all subjects

 

Taken from my short hand note taking whilst listening on phone. As I’m now writing them up 3 and a half months later some already don’t mean anything to me.

Planning in Future
