Learning, Teaching & Assessment

At Portlethen Academy, our 6 Aspects Learning, Teaching & Assessment framework was developed in partnership with staff, pupils and parents/carers. Staff worked together to agree what high-quality learning, teaching and assessment look like in our classrooms. Pupils then shared their views through the Pupil Action Group, helping to shape a pupil-friendly version of the framework that focuses on taking responsibility for learning. Parent and carer focus groups completed the process by exploring how learning can be supported at home. By working together and using a shared language, 6 Aspects helps ensure a consistent, positive learning experience for all members of our school community.
