What are we aiming to improve in our school this year?

Every year, staff and governors identify aspects of our school that we want to develop, improve or instigate.

We select each year’s priorities by looking at:

• School data about pupil progress and attainment
• Keeping an eye on changes in education nationally
• Giving a critical eye to what we’re already doing
• Listening to the comments of pupils and parents
• Our strategic plan for the school

Based on all of this, these are our priorities for the 2024/2025 academic year:

Priority 1

Raising Standards and Attainment through writing. The children will have regular opportunities to plan, draft, edit and publish their writing, inspired by high quality teaching and texts. Teachers will have training in spelling strategies and teach spelling every day.

Priority 2

Raising standards and attainment through the Curriculum and Subject Leadership. We will be focusing on reviewing our current curriculum and improving it through our curriculum partnership with Cornerstones.

Priority 3

Raising standards and attainment through supporting disadvantaged learners and removing barriers to learning. We will support and identify all learners to attain well at school, by helping them overcome barriers to learning. These may be financial, specific individual needs or cultural. 

Priority 4

The Governing Body will be leading on exploring partnerships with other schools.
