Growing Together   ♥   Nurturing Individuals to Flourish   ♥   Rooted by God's  Love 

Our school improvement plan (SIP) provides information regarding the key priorities identified through self evaluation for the next year. It is used to help drive school improvement and is monitored by school governors.  

This year the priorities were agreed as a result of:

• lesson observations and learning walks
• staff feedback and reflections from the curriculum
• pupil progress meetings
• OFSTED report

Our SIP is organised under the following broad objectives:

• To develop effective leadership to consistently improve outcomes for all pupils
• To improve the quality of teaching, learning and assessment so that all lessons typically create learning conditions that enable pupils to consistently make good or better progress over time. 
• To develop learner's personal development, behaviour and welfare in order to have a positive impact on their progress. 
• To improve outcomes for pupils in each year and across the curriculum so that current pupils make substantial and sustained progress from their different starting points. 

The Key Priorities for a school year are supported by:

• research 
• personal and professional development for staff
• whole school training and INSET days
• school budgeting

The Key Priorities for 2024-25 are:
