School Improvement

'Education is for improving the lives of others and
for leaving your community and world better than you found it.'

- Marian Wright Edelman

 We empower our staff to achieve lasting improvement through tailored support, collaborative leadership, and a relentless focus on excellence for every learner.

Our school priorities this year, are as follows:

1. To ensure that all staff have on-going opportunities to develop professionally, resulting in excellent teaching and learning and succession planning for the school. 

2. a. To ensure that high quality ‘keep up’ and ‘catch up’ phonics is timely, so that quick intervention results in pupils making accelerated progress through the phonics programme for mid-year joiners. 

b. To equip all staff with expert knowledge and understanding of reading comprehension strategies, enabling learners to be equipped with techniques which they apply to a range of texts. 

  3. To further enhance teachers’ and leaders’ confidence in tailoring learning to pupil’s existing knowledge; basing next steps and responsive teaching on precise assessment and not assumption. 

 4. a. To continue to ensure that all stakeholders promote understanding and respect for diversity.

b. To ensure that there is an incredibly strong culture of SMSC, which permeates every classroom and through the school. 

 c. To ensure swift attendance ‘support first’ action from all staff, followed by timely and rigorous monitoring by attendance champions and school systems, to ensure good attendance patterns by all pupils.

Our school is also supported by the Strive4 School Improvement Team. To find out more information about the SIT, please click here.
