Each year we review how the school is performing. This helps us to decide how we can further develop our school and enable our children to be the best they can be. We analyse our latest results, as well as information from our annual pupil, staff and parent questionnaires. We also listen to educational advisers who visit our school. Below is a summary of our current priorities.

Continue to improve the quality and consistency of teaching and learning within the school, particularly ensuring Early Career Teachers develop into good practitioners, supported by the ECT training offer, mentors and Year Heads Plan and teach clearly structured lessons across the whole curriculum, ensuring that previous learning is built on and that there is a clear purpose for lesson sequencing and why specific content is being taught Introduce the Learning Conversations model to further refine planning and teaching and develop a culture of professional dialogue around teaching and learning |
