At The Stephen Longfellow Academy, the student planner holds a pivotal role in our educational journey. It is imperative that students bring their planners to every lesson, every day. Here’s what makes the planner an indispensable tool:
1. Academic Recordkeeping: The planner is primarily a repository for Alternative Provision Positive Discipline (APPD) Stamps, emphasizing and documenting positive conduct within our school community.
2. Essential Academy Information: Within its pages, you will find essential details about our academy, including our expectations and operational systems. It serves as a reference guide for students to navigate their academic environment effectively.
3. Aiding Learning and Assessment: Specific sections within the planner are designated for academic assessments and tools to enhance the learning process.
4. Digital Management: The planner also holds crucial digital information, including computer login credentials, ensuring uninterrupted access to online resources. Additionally, it assists in tracking completion of the gym induction process.
Each student is provided with a planner at the beginning of the academic year. However, in the event of loss or damage, a replacement can be acquired for £5.00, with charges billed through their Amazon account.
We uphold a positive approach in our planner’s usage, refraining from documenting negative comments, allowing students a clean slate of positivity. Furthermore, form tutors actively engage by setting weekly academic targets, which are meticulously recorded in the planner. Additionally, dedicated pages are reserved for Gorse Gets Healthy (GGH) initiatives.
In essence, our student planner is more than a mere schedule-keeper; it is a tool that fosters organisation, effective communication, and a positive learning atmosphere, contributing significantly to our students’ academic journey.
