Achievement For All
What is Achievement for All?
Achievement for All (AFA) is a school/home based programme that is designed to support three identified children in each class who may not have made the expected level of progress from last year or may still be below their age related expectations. The programme is not a simple ‘catch up’ intervention program but will look at how, in partnership, we can support your child in English and maths, along with valuing any extra-curricular activities your child participates in.
An integral part of ‘AFA’, our termly structured conversations (completed over a two week period every term), will include a discussion between parent and teacher and, where appropriate, child too. During the meetings we will look at individual needs and tailor any provision needed.
In partnership, we will track your child’s progress to ensure that they are achieving their full potential and, if not, think of strategies we can put in place at school and at home to assist achievement. Therefore, if you are unable to commit to the structured conversations, please let your child’s teacher know and we will choose another child as our termly discussions are the most important part of the programme.

How will we hear about our meetings?
At the initial Structured Conversation in the Autumn term, you have the opportunity to tell your child’s teacher the most convenient form of communication for you. Please ensure that you let your child’s teacher know this information. If there are any letters concerning AFA, they will appear on yellow paper and are very important, so please ensure that you read them.
If you have any questions that your child’s class teacher cannot answer, please don’t hesitate to contact Mrs Neary (AFA Champion) via the school office or at Anne.Neary@hamptonvale.peterborough.sch.uk
