Development
We continually try to improve what we do at our school in order to give your children the best experience possible. Each year we devise a School Development Plan (SDP) which outlines our priorities for the year. The priorities in the SDP are based on the changing needs of our school and our pupils.
The following are key highlights from the 2025-26 SDP. It is a working document and priorities may change and develop over the year.
Priority OneTo raise the quality of mathematics teaching throughout the school by embedding clear, high-quality lesson structures, strengthening modelling approaches, and ensuring consistent implementation of the updated calculation policy.
Priority Two
To review and refine the school’s reading and writing procedures, ensuring shared reading is consistently effective and that the 2024 Writing Framework is appropriately considered and embedded.
Priority Three
To strengthen the school’s inclusive and wellbeing-focused culture by developing ‘Shine Time’ sessions that embed our core values (based on the Guardians), promote belonging, safety, and mutual respect, and provide meaningful opportunities for pupil voice.
Priority Four
To enhance pupil outcomes and independence by developing and embedding a whole-school approach to metacognition, beginning with the formation of a drive team and implementation of a clear action plan.
Priority Five
To improve the quality of art teaching and learning through the implementation of a reviewed, progressive curriculum that ensures consistent coverage, clear skill progression, and high-quality outcomes across all year groups.
