School Improvement Planning
School improvement planning is a continuous process. Consequently, this School Improvement Plan is an organic document, outlining goals and current plans, as it is not rigid, it will alter as evaluation and review occur at times during the year. Our whole learning community will continue to be involved in this process through consultation, helping to build capacity for future improvement.
This summary of our plan, therefore, sets out how we aim not only to maintain performance but also to raise overall school standards, individual pupil achievement and to place staff development at the heart of school improvement. It also documents the dynamic relationship with the wider community, for example through offering extended services, such as Parent as Educators sessions so that learning can be improved within the home.
Our excellent facilities not only benefit our own pupils, staff and local community but are also used to strengthen our partnership work with colleagues from other schools (MADCOS collaborative) and as a provider of School Centred Initial Teacher Training through our association with Deyes High and the Holy Rosary Teaching School Alliance.
Modern technology, including interactive whiteboards installed in all classes, enriches learning whilst helping pupils develop an awareness of eSafety. We continue to rigorously monitor levels of attendance and value the continuing support of parents and their involvement in their children’s learning. We have now fully implemented targets from our Ofsted report in 2017 where we were graded Good with elements of Outstanding in every category. We are also proud to be graded OUTSTANDING by Ofsted when they inspected our Early Years in 2014.
Our strength comes from a relentless focus on providing high quality learning and teaching experiences, within a culture of continuous improvement. Efficient use of resources ensures the school continues to give excellent value for money as recognised by Ofsted. Governors and staff look forward to working in partnership with everyone within our learning community to achieve our collective aims and ultimately benefit the pupils and families in our care.
