Curriculum and pedagogy in Key Stage 2: a survey of policy and practice in small rural primary schools

ABSTRACT

Small primary schools have often been criticized for their staff's inevitably limited cur‐ ricular expertise and consequent difficulty in providing a full National Curriculum for their pupils. Yet in terms of standards of attainment and quality of teaching such schools are rated rather more favourably than larger ones in OFSTED inspections. Based on an investigation of policy and practice in thirteen small primary schools this article attempts to examine the reality of small schools’ planning and implementation of National Curriculum requirements at Key Stage 2 and suggests possible reasons for their ‘better’ performance, at least as judged by OFSTED inspectors.     

Servicing Small Communities by the Use of Technology,and Opening the Internet

Abstract

This article describes the way the Internet has been introduced to a small community in South Australia, by means of a business system originally provided for the Council's use. Internet, while heard about, had never been used to any great extent, and is a good example of introducing the ‘young’ of our subject to this facility ‐‐ those young being council workers and the general public.
