Help! Long term plans.

My HT has asked for me to share my long term plans on the school website. I was happy to do this. Long term plan is for a SEN provision with 50 children in it consisting of 5 classes. All the classes access the same themes but how the content is approched is very different from classroom to classroom. The long term plan is then changed yearly on a 5 yearly basis.
On my long term plan I have just put a new theme in each term and that's it. My medium term plan goes into much more detail as does my daily plan based on assessement etc.
My HT has said my long term plan is not detailed enough. I don't want to have to write more as it's all in my medium term plan. How would you approach this?

Can't you just give her the MTPs if they have all the details?

I'm more than happy for her to have the MTP (which she has a copy of) but she wants me add nore detail to the LTP specifically. It seems counter productive to add more detail. Or shuld it have more detail?
@RobertSmithdoesmyhair thank you.

I’m confused. Are you planning for all 5 classes?

cooksomeeggs · 15/07/2019 20:14

@fedup21
Yes and no. So the LTP is the content that we are all covering. The MTP is a more detailed look at what we are covering weekly and provides differentiated activity ideas, alongside resources. The 5 teachers are responsible for their own daily planning. There is some flexiblity thoughout the term given that it's SEN.

This sounds very specific to SEN schools-are you SLT if you are responsible for this on your own?

If it needs to be done and you’ve already done it, can’t you just transfer a bit more information over from your medium term plan to the long term one?

Another classic example of unnecessary paperwork! I would politely tell her that it is an unreasonable and pointless request.
I thought teacher workload was something that all heads were meant to be aware of and making attempts to reduce it?!
