School Development Plan 2025 2026
Our School Development Plan contains a wealth of information assessing how well we are performing as a school, what our long term strategic priorities are and details of activities that we are undertaking to help improve provision during this academic year. We welcome parents to look at this and feedback any comments or thoughts they have about this plan either through our feedback form on the website or verbally to us.
The 7 priorities are listed below:
Enhance oracy skills across all phases, we will implement structured talk opportunities within the curriculum, promote collaborative learning exercises and provide targeted professional development for staff to effectively facilitate and assess pupil discussions.
Maintain, and continue to develop and build on the outstanding practice from practitioners in Early Years to ensure that expected progress is made in terms of achieving a Good Level of Development with a particular focus on Communication, Language and Literacy.
Empower pupils by integrating their perspectives into book looks, thereby utilising their insights to more accurately assess learning progress and inform improvements.
Harness AI effectively, investigate its potential advantages in streamlining administrative processes and enhancing children’s learning experiences, while ensuring robust measures for privacy and date security.
Enhance children's breaktime experiences, we will develop structured approaches for TAs and midday supervisors to foster engaging and safe play environments that cater to diverse needs and promote wellbeing.
Strengthen the assessment of SEND pupils by implementing comprehensive, personalised evaluation tools that ensure inclusive progress monitoring, informed by continuous professional development and stakeholder collaboration.
Enhance pupil attendance by fostering an engaging and supportive school environment. Continue to strengthen communication with parents to address attendance concerns early. Targeted support and interventions will be provided for pupils with frequent absences, while monitoring / tracking attendance data consistently to identify and address patterns. By fostering a positive school culture that values regular attendance and collaborating with local agencies to support families facing changes, we can ensure improved attendance rates and overall school performance.
