School Development Priorities
Whilst our school is judged by OFSTED as being a ‘good’ school, we are always keen to build further on our strengths. This year our governors, head teacher and staff are working together on the following school development priorities:
1. To further improve our pupils' outcomes in mathematics
How we will achieve this:
- by implementing 'Mathematics Mastery (Ark Curriculum) an evidence informed approach to the teaching of primary mathematics
2. To implement a new RE curriculum in response to the Local Authority's new agreed syllabus for RE
How we will achieve this:
- by delivering the RE curriculum through a 'world views' approach
- by providing our staff with relevant training to support them in teaching RE
3. To work with staff, parents and pupils to re-design our curriculum offer
How we will achieve this:
- to re-develop our 'layered learning ' themes to ensure they continue to engage our pupils
- to explore a variety of approaches which provide our pupils with value for money, first hand learning experiences
- to create an assessment approach which enables pupils to demonstrate the learning they have retained over a period of time
- to provide our pupils with cultural learning opportunities e.g. theatre visit, museum visit, Cathedral visit
