Today at 3:30 I was invited to attend a pyramid meeting, with know understanding of what this was I agreed and it was worth it. We met at Corfe Hills upper school and i met the head of the technology department there as well as a textiles teacher from Broadstone middle school. With in the meeting we discussed the percentage of students that had progressed from our middles schools and had achieved there predicted grades in the pervious year and the students that had fallen short and why this had happened. Other areas that were discussed were gifted and talented, changes to key stages and the governments new policies for schools. Gifted and talented is a programme to inspire emerging talents and skilled students and this year the staff are planning to take the students to the V&A. I think this is a fantastic way of inspiring students to be creative in there work and to really explore the subject of textiles and all areas connected. The rest of the meeting was a bit long winded and once i have checked in with my mentor at school I will blog what it all meant.
