Every academic year, senior leaders and governors meet to decide the school's priorities for the following 12 months. This is formulated in to a document called the School Improvement Plan (SIP.)
Priorities are chosen based upon the school's needs, progress in particular areas, government initiatives or areas that are distinctive to our school.
All staff have a role in achieving the objectives through a set of actions and criteria that are monitored and evaluated regularly throughout the year by SLT, governors, staff and children.
Our priorities are linked to the OFSTED framework and include:
- Attendance and Behaviour: monitoring attendance and behaviour of certain groups
- Safeguarding: Benedict's Law compliance, vigilance in working with Dudley due to inadequate rating in 2026.
- Leadership and Governance: further develop our Governor monitoring plan,
- Curriculum and Teaching: Mastering Number across school and our new writing and spelling scheme
- Achievement: strengthening our teaching of Multiplication
- Inclusions: our inclusion strategy, strengthening our graduated response, developing self advocacy.
- Personal Development and Wellbeing: enrichment opportunities and new PSHE/RSE curriculum
- Early Years: developing adult interactions, staff CPD, developing the outdoor area.
These are the highlights and leaders write, monitor and share impact of actions.
