Welcome to Highfields Spencer Academy
Highfields Spencer is part of The Spencer Academies Trust, and is closely linked with Wyndham Primary Academy, also within the Trust. As an Ofsted outstanding school and the host school for the Research School within the Derby Opportunity Area, Wyndham leads on educational research and development across Derbyshire and beyond. Highfields also works in partnership with our two brand new schools that opened in September 2019 – Chellaston Fields and The Mease in Hilton.
We are keen to create a high performing school based on developing growth mindsets and an exciting and knowledge-rich curriculum to serve our local community. At Highfields Spencer, all children learn in an environment that helps them to thrive and understand that their learning has no limits.
@MissDavies__ @MrTs_NQTs Also for supporting pupils with special educational needs do a bit of research on what a provision plan and an EHCP are. Find out about ASD, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia plus speech and language difficulties and SEMH needs and how teachers can scaffold learning. Xx
@MissDavies__ @MrTs_NQTs No probs and all free. Maths mastery is another good one to look at, something like White Rose Maths which is no cost. The mastery approach plus metacognition are the buzz words to get your head around. Read some great children's books too & Greg Bottrill's work. Forest schools.
@MissDavies__ @MrTs_NQTs I would make sure you have downloaded the national curriculum for KS1 and KS2, plus Development Matters for EYFS. Do some research on systematic synthetic phonics if you want to do something that will really help you. If you are going into secondary school look at GCSE/A level? X
Thank you to everyone who attended, both events at Highfields have been well attended this summer, so we look forward to hosting more in the future. Thank you to Findern Parish Council for organising this with South Derbyshire Sports Partnership. Xx
Just as a reminder we are holding our second Findern Parish Council community sports event this morning for 8-16 year olds from 10am till 12pm. Xx pic.twitter.com/y92LZ1f3x9
