School Improvement
'The school development plan fully outlines the main developments for the future' - OFSTED
School Improvement Priorities 2026 - 2027
Every school has a School Improvement Plan. Our plan reflects priorities highlighted by parents, staff, governors and children.
Priority 1:
Continue to ensure high quality inclusive teaching.
In order to continue to maintain high standards, we will continue to 
prioritise the delivery of high quality, inclusive teaching through adaptive practice, effective assessment and evidence-informed strategies to meet the needs of all learners. Leaders will support and monitor practice through professional development, coaching and quality assurance to ensure consistently high standards and positive outcomes for every pupil.
Priority 2
To maintain high expectations and better than national pupil outcomes and progress.
We will continue to maintain high expectations for all pupils and as a result of
ambitious teaching, effective assessment, timely intervention, monitoring of attainment and progress, we will ensure that outcomes remain above national averages and that every pupil achieves their full potential.
Priority 3:
Further develop play opportunities for children at breaktime and lunchtime through implementation of the OPAL programme.
As an OPAL school we will endeavour to set up and develop a wider range of activities outside that will promote pupils’ wellbeing, social development and engagement.
Priority 4:
To further improve the distinctive Christian character of the school
As a Church of England Primary School, we provide education within a Christian context. Our core values of 'Thankfulness, Love and Hope' are central to our vision for the school.
We will continue to engage in social action and to be courageous advocates for change locally, nationally and globally. As a Gold Global Neighbour school, key to our curriculum is the 'promotion of 'international mindedness'. See our curriculum page for further details. We want to encourage children to think and understand how they can contribute to an increasingly global world.
Priority 5:
Encourage our children to stay safe and healthy; continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle through the taught curriculum and extra curricular activities.
In all that we do, we will promote the importance of healthy eating and staying safe.
We will continue to hire sports coaches and take part in a range of sports competitions throughout the year and continually review extra-curricular activities available. We will also be purchasing a new minibus.
As a Smartphone Free Childhood Gold Rated School, we will also be promoting this with families and sharing Smartphone Free Childhood Resources.
