Strand Leaders – Andrea Sully & Chris Rush

The focus on continuity is clearly needed and the aspects identified at the conference included, AfL, shared vision, routines, familiarisation, cross-phase working, clear information for transfer and progression. If the Cluster chose to adopt ‘curriculum’ in terms of ‘everything we say and do’ (Drummond, 1998), then the Continuity Strand could research and develop all the identified aspects and include work on continuity in curriculum content and pedagogy from the renewed secondary curriculum and primary review.

The Cluster will work and liaise closely with other Local Authority groups/initiatives to ensure consistency and to reduce the chance of duplication of effort.
