At ProgressTeaching<\/a>, we work with schools across the country to strengthen teaching through regular feedback, professional dialogue, and evidence-based improvement. One unexpected theme that\u2019s emerged in recent months is how rarely Sixth Form lessons are observed compared to those in Key Stages 3 and 4.<\/p>

In fact, a recent poll I ran on LinkedIn<\/a> showed that 75% of schools give less feedback on Sixth Form lessons than they do for other year groups. Only 17% said it was the same, and just 8% reported giving more.<\/p>

So what\u2019s behind this imbalance? And what might we be missing by not fully capturing the teaching and learning happening in our post-16 classrooms?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In conversations with school leaders using our teaching and learning platform<\/a>, a few common explanations have come up.<\/p>

Some leaders told me that because Sixth Form classes are often taught by experienced subject specialists, these lessons tend to be \u201cleft alone.\u201d While that reflects a level of trust, it also means fewer opportunities to share what\u2019s working. If we believe teaching is strong in KS5, we should be exploring what makes it so effective\u00a0and using that to train and support others.<\/i><\/span><\/p>

There\u2019s also the challenge of subject knowledge<\/a>. Senior leaders may feel less confident observing and feeding back on specialist Sixth Form content. While heads of department might be more qualified to do this, they often lack the capacity to carry out regular lesson drop-ins.<\/p>

A number of leaders also pointed out that KS5 can be seen as a lower priority due to the absence of behaviour concerns and the smaller class sizes. One leader even described Sixth Form as \u201cthe poor relation\u201d within the leadership structure, with decisions often made without a direct voice from the KS5 team.<\/p>

Monitoring often focuses on areas of greatest accountability pressure, such as Year 11. As a result, Sixth Form teaching may be assumed to be \u201cfine,\u201d rather than actively reviewed and supported through lesson feedback software<\/a> or performance development platforms<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Many of the schools using the ProgressTeaching platform say they are now rethinking this approach.<\/p>

There\u2019s growing recognition that Sixth Form lessons often showcase some of the strongest teaching in a school. But without structured feedback and review<\/a>, it becomes difficult to identify what\u2019s working and even more challenging to share that practice with colleagues teaching in lower year groups.<\/p>

Leaders I\u2019ve spoken to are planning to take action next year, such as:<\/p>

\"\ud83d\udd39\"Including Sixth Form drop-ins in their teaching and learning monitoring cycle<\/p>

\"\ud83d\udd39\"Using best practice from KS5 teaching to inform CPD across the school<\/p>

\"\ud83d\udd39\"Embedding subject-specific prompts in observation rubrics to support non-specialist observers<\/p>

\"\ud83d\udd39\"Pairing curriculum leaders with SLT for joint observations and coaching conversations<\/p>

\"\ud83d\udd39\"Using research, such as the EEF guidance on post-16 teaching<\/a>, to shape lesson feedback and school improvement planning<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

With high-quality teaching and learning platforms available to support all Key Stages, there\u2019s no reason KS5 lessons should be overlooked. In fact, these classrooms may hold some of the best examples of effective pedagogy, curriculum delivery and teacher expertise.<\/p>

Whether you’re a trust leader, a head of Sixth Form, or part of a school improvement team, it\u2019s worth asking: Are we collecting enough insight on what\u2019s happening in our Sixth Form classrooms?<\/em> And if we\u2019re not, what opportunities are we missing to support wider professional development?<\/p>

At ProgressTeaching, we help schools build a consistent approach to lesson observations, coaching and staff development – all in one easy-to-use platform. If you’d like to explore how our teaching and learning software can help you capture strengths across all year groups, including Sixth Form, get in touch with our team<\/a> or reach out to me directly on LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
