School Development Plan Priorities 2015-2016
What is a school development plan?
The School Development Plan (SDP) is the school’s plan of action. It outlines our priorities in a structured way so that the school makes the planned rate of progress. It provides a benchmark against which this progress is monitored. It is backed up by a programme of initiatives and projects designed to continue improving standards of achievement and the quality of educational experiences, which we offer our children.
The SDP is discussed at every Ofsted and Standards Committee meeting and is reported on at every full Governing Body meeting.
Our priorities for 2016-2017 are
- Reduce the difference between the attainment of children entitled to pupil premium funding and other pupils nationally
- Raise the attainment of children in writing and bring the end of Key Stage 1 results for writing in line with national
- Raise the standards of speaking using Talk Boost and Colourful Semantics systematically throughout school
- Embed the mastery approach in maths and ensure children at risk of falling behind are provided with early intervention
- Ensure the percentage of children who achieve a Good Level of Development (GLD) is in line with national and that the difference between disadvantaged children and other children nationally is reduced
- Continue to address the 2012 inspection key issues relating to improving attendance and outstanding teaching
