Case studies of PbyP in schools
PbyP is being used in settings from Early Years to FE and we are building up a portfolio of case studies. Some schools have links for more information. If you are already using PbyP and would like to share your case study with other schools, please complete a brief description like those listed below and send it to . Each month in the newsletter we will be featuring one case study in more detail. Those with links for further information below, have already been featured in this way.
Early Years and Foundations Stage
PbyP Foundations was launched in November 2008 so case studies should begin to emerge in the summer.

The Grange School and Sports College have created a booklet for all year 7 to take with them at all times which provides them with different ways of recording and thinking about PLTS. This recognises that they won’t always have access to ICT when evidence occurs so they can record notes and ideas for later.
