Student Support - Learning Timetable Changes
At St Patrick’s, our learning plans are written and reviewed twice a year. Historically, the first learning plan is written at the start of term 1 and reviewed at the end of term 2 (therefore spanning a two-term period), and the second learning plan begins at the start of term 3 and is reviewed at the end of term 4 (again, spanning a two-term period).
For several reasons (but primarily to allow teachers greater time to get to know students more thoroughly before needing to write a learning plan for them), we have decided to change the timing of when the two annual learning plans are written and reviewed. Learning plans will continue to be written and reviewed twice a year, it is just the timing of these, that will change moving forward.
To transition to our new learning plan timetable, the current learning plan period will be extended by one term (just for this year), and the current learning plan will now be reviewed towards the end of term 3, with a new learning plan to follow. A new learning plan will then be in place for term 4, 2022 and this current learning plan will continue into term 1 2023.
Please see below to see the learning plan timetabling changes.
