School Development Plan

This plan has been devised to be a working document that is digestible for all.  It is deliberately focussed on three core Priorities that we believe will have a significant impact on the quality of teaching and learning, removing barriers to achievement, enhancing educational and social outcomes and continuing to build the positive reputation of the school in the community and beyond.

The intention is that the plan is electronically shared in a central place to enable the school community to evidence any actions (list what they have done) and log the impact (feedback in any form - data, pupil, staff, parent, governor voice, examples of work).  Actions and impact are to be succinct but provide sufficient detail.

The following groups will be able to document actions and evidence at key points throughout each half term:

Children – The school council will be able to document actions and evidence of impact when they meet. Pupil voice is also a valuable source of information for subject leaders, who will be able to document actions and impact in the same way.

Staff – Staff briefings, Staff INSETS and phase meetings will provide opportunities for action towards each of the school priorities. Rather than keeping detailed minutes of meetings, actions and evidence of impact are added to the school plan.

SLT – Senior leadership time and SLT meetings will provide opportunities for action towards each of the school priorities. Rather than keeping detailed minutes of meetings, actions and evidence of impact are added to the school plan.

At termly intervals, the governors will review the progress towards each school improvement priority and make any recommendations.
