School Improvement Plan
To ensure our school continues to provide an effective education for your children, we continually evaluate what we do and how well our pupils achieve. As part of this process we look for ways of doing things better of differently to ensure we continue to provide the best education and care we can. Our priorities for development may change as the needs and strengths of our school change. Each year we decide on our improvement priorities for the coming year after evaluating and assessing the impact of the School Improvement Plan from the previous year. This is done through working with the Governing Board and our LA link advisor.
After careful reflection and robust evaluation of pupil outcomes, we have chosen the following School Improvement Priorities for 2024-25:
| Key areas for developments |
|
|
| 1. Teaching Pedagogy – Active learning is a central part of the rehearse and repeat section of the learning cycle. Modelling is embedded further through the ‘follow me’ section ensuring that teacher talk is concise and purposeful. Children spend a large proportion of each lesson doing the learning. |
| 2. High quality SEND provision ensures that children with learning needs make good progress. Teachers carefully plan for children’s learning, prioritise teaching them directly and scaffold the work so that they can achieve. They plan the interventions and support that they need. Carefully worked up timetables and interventions are planned across the year group to optimise skilled support staff. |
|
3. SMART and achievable subject leader action plans are written and are reviewed termly showing action and impact (focus on assessment and SEND provision - all leaders need to carry out monitoring, book looks and pupil voice to provide evidence that is then collated). |
| 4. Mental Health and well-being of children, particularly our most vulnerable, and staff are actively considered and systems and structures are developed to promote a caring, nurturing and successful school (see separate action plan) |
|
5. Learning about Life (PSHE): The new curriculum is launched and is a focus of weekly LAL lessons. All follow the expected format so that there is consistency with delivery and the importance of the subject which is demonstrated by all. Children’s emotional literacy, resilience and confidence are developed through improved learning in this area which ensures that the children develop a better understanding of how to stay safe in the modern world both online and in relationships with others. |
