This Subject Intervention and Provision Map Bundle is ideal for any subject leader who's looking to explore what additional support is given to pupils in their subject.
Aimed at primary subject leaders, this mini bundle contains two useful editable Word templates. The Subject Intervention and Provision Audit allows you to look in-depth at your subject and the provision, adaptations, differentiation and intervention on offer. This template is split into three handy sections that cover the following:
- Quality First Teaching
- Targeted Pupil Support
- Group Intervention
This allows you to explore the current offer for pupils who need additional support to attain well in your subject as well as changes that could be made to further improve outcomes for pupils. You can then use the Subject Provision Map to give an overview of the different types of provision and support available in different year groups as well as summarising the general strategies used by all staff to support learning.
Understanding how pupils who need extra help, such as pupils with SEND or disadvantaged pupils, are supported in your subject is a key component of subject leadership, and is something you may wish to evidence in a subject leader file. For further support with creating, building and organising an effective subject leader folder, this template along with many more are also included in our Subject Leader Folder Pack.
