School Self Evaluation
School self-evaluation is a process by which the senior leadership team and teaching staff in our school evaluate the education we offer pupils and identify areas for action to stimulate improvement in teaching and learning and other aspects of the school's work.
Our school self evaluation statement is a document which sets out where our school is now in terms of the quality of education we deliver to pupils as well as identify areas for further improvement which are further developed in our School Improvement Plan.
Our school self evaluation statement is reviewed with any necessary changes made every month.
Our SEF (Self Evaluation Form) for May 2022 is available by clicking here.
School Improvement Plan
Aim
The aim of our school improvement plan is to set out a cycle of actions that reflects a commitment to continuous self-review and improvement.
It outlines the improvement or development opportunities that the stakeholders in the school have identified as being the main priorities to be addressed in order to raise standards. It identifies the actions, resources, responsibilities, measurable milestones, targets and success criteria associated with each opportunity and prioritise them to make best use of available funding or resources.
The targets below were developed with members of the school Governing Board at a meeting in school on Friday 3rd September 2021.
At the heart of all the targets set in this plan for this academic year is a focus on a return to a more normal school experience for pupils (and staff) and identifying and addressing learning gaps that have developed over the past 18 months.
Our School Improvement Plan aims for 2022 / 23 are currently being devised in consultation with staff, governors and pupils. These will be published on our web site by 01/10/22
