There are 4 key areas of focus for the year 2020-2021:
- Recovery from lost learning in English and maths
- Secure and consistent curriculum implementation
- Character development
- Improving attendance
The priorities for the school this year are to continue to improve outcomes for all pupils through ensuring that:
- all teaching is always good with expectations of adults and children always high;
- accurate assessment identifies gaps in learning and addresses educational deficit within rapid catch up sequences;
- staff training and leadership development builds capacity and a skilled workforce who are able to meet the needs of all pupils, and support their achievement;
- early reading and the acquisition of vocabulary is prioritised in EYFS and Year 1;
- learning focus in CLL is clearly reflected in the EYFS environment;
- the implementation of a coherently sequenced curriculum enables new knowledge to be learnt and key skills to be applied and embedded;
- parents understand and support our aspirational aims for the achievement of their children and so enable good attendance;
- pupils’ behaviour and attitudes are good;
- pupils develop essential character strengths which motivate them to learn, to participate, to make a positive contribution, and to build healthy relationships;
- pastoral support and a broad and ambitious curriculum promotes children’s physical and mental health, and enables their academic potential to thrive.
