Malmesbury is a two form entry school on the outskirts of Morden. 50% of our schools' intake learn English as an additional language which fuels our schools' ethos to 'Bring out the best in everyone'. Language and communication are the basis of our curriculum and Skills Builder has been a way of supporting the aspirations and understanding of how to be a life long learner and that our skills are constantly developing and being reviewed. Malmesbury have partnered with Skills Builder for a number of years and teachers and children alike enjoy the trips, challenge days and longer projects. The key skills are displayed in all classes and teachers use them alongside our curriculum to promote various skills throughout the day. During remote learning our school engaged with online resources such as the homework challenges and since returning to school, a whole school challenge week took place where the children and staff engaged in mini lessons, focus skill lessons and specific activities to put skills into practice.
The impact has been more challenging to measure this year due to the workload of teachers. However, the zoom conversations and focused strategy support has been useful in reflecting on progress throughout the school.
