Our school priorities for the academic year are strategically focused to enable our school to develop and improve in line with our vision and values:
| Safeguarding | Ensure staff have the relevant, appropriate information about learners’ vulnerabilities so learners can be well supported in the classroom and wider school. | ||||
| Inclusion | Improve outcomes for SEND / vulnerable learners by linking academic, attendance, behaviour and wellbeing information into one impact cycle. | ||||
| Curriculum & Teaching | Secure consistently effective teaching, including responsive and adaptive teaching, marking and feedback verified through evidence of learning rather than compliance with routines. | ||||
| Achievement | Increase the percentage of Grade 4+, 5+ and Grade 7+ in English and Mathematics to national levels and above. | ||||
| Attendance & Behaviour | Reduce repeat suspensions and lost learning, especially for SEND, disadvantaged and social-care cohorts, while preserving the school’s inclusive ethos. | ||||
| Personal Development & Wellbeing | Further improve the consistency of the quality of teaching and assessment in Learning for Life and Personal Development. | ||||
| Leadership & Governance | Further increase the frequency of governor challenge through the precision and availability of impact data. |
The seven improvement priorities above are condensed into the following Whole School Priorities for staff and governors:
- Consistently effective teaching and improved achievement;
- Improved outcomes and reduced lost learning for vulnerable learners;
- Precise leadership and governance evaluation of impact.
