Area of Learning Leaders monitor and evaluate the curriculum content, provision and standards achieved to ensure the overall effectiveness of the quality of education provided within their area of responsibility.

They are responsible for the progress and direction of SIP targets and how they relate and translate within their leadership areas.

As highlighted in the Self-Review Timeline, all leaders undertake a termly review of their progress and ways forward to achieve targets set.

Directed leadership time is offered to all leaders to undertake their duties effectively, such as:

• ADDs sessions to feedback outcomes of review with all staff.

• ADDs sessions to share information or provide training.

• Create and analyse community questionnaires.

• Lesson Looks and Listening to Learners.

• Data Analysis.

• Visiting other schools.

• Courses and certified training.

• Reviewing planning, assessment and workbook outcomes.

• Presenting to various members of the school community.

All feedback is provided to the whole school community and wider via the AoLE area on the school website: https://www.llangyfelachprimaryschool.co.uk/topic/areas-of-learning.

This approach is a micro version of whole school improvement. The strategies and approaches are very similar to the actions undertaken by the Governing Body and SLT.

AoLE Leader, Link Governors and PVGs generate an annual Action Plan which is reviewed termly during Review Fortnight, applying the LPS Review Strategies appropriately.

Therefore, this sub system of school improvement empowers the leadership capacity of all staff within their areas of responsibility and enhances the leadership capacity and sustainability of the school.
