At Chelsea Primary School, our teaching and learning approach is guided by a clear and cohesive Instructional Architecture that ensures consistency, clarity, and excellence in every classroom.

Our vision is to provide every student with a high-quality, engaging, and carefully sequenced education through an agreed instructional model, consistent lesson design, purposeful student engagement, and responsive differentiation practices. By aligning teaching approaches across the school, we create predictable and supportive learning environments where students can focus their attention on learning and confidently build new knowledge and skills.

Our Instructional Architecture is anchored in an explicit instruction model that structures each lesson to maximise clarity, participation, and success. Lessons begin with a daily review to strengthen prior learning, followed by clearly communicated learning objectives and success criteria so students understand what they are learning and how success will be achieved. Key vocabulary is explicitly taught to ensure all learners can access the content. Teachers then guide students through modelling, supported practice, and independent application using the I Do, We Do, You Do approach, with ongoing checks for understanding to ensure learning is secure before moving forward.

Through this shared and consistent approach, we ensure that every student experiences structured, supportive, and intellectually engaging classrooms that promote strong learning growth for all.
