School Priorities

Development Plan for the academic year

Each year we identify areas within the school that need to be developed, these priorities are set based on the school’s evaluation of its performance during that academic year. We then create a School Development Plan for the academic year.

These are our School Development Priorities

Key Priority 1:

To continue to embed the profile of adaptive practice within Quality First Teaching through the implementation of the quality first teaching universal offer and learning environment expectations.

Key Priority 2:

To continue to secure improvements in standards across Key Stage 2.

Key Priority 3:


To support the development of the new leadership team, securing their roles and responsibilities so that they positively impact on provision and outcomes across the school. 

Key Priority 4:

To secure improvements with attendance, particularly children who are persistently absent.
