School Development

Our School Development Plans show what we know and see as our priorities in school for the year ahead.  It identifies our actions and puts them into a timescale so that they are achievable and can also be measured. 

The School Development Plan Process 2024 -25

 Each year the staff, children and governors review the progress we have made and identify areas of focus for continued Development for the future. This self-review and evaluation is part of our ongoing school Development cycle and helps us to devise the ‘School Development Plan’ or SDP.

 The SDP runs in with the academic year from September to July . Throughout the year there will be updates about our progress on the School Development Plan and it is very important that all members of the school community have the opportunity to contribute towards this plan. All parents, staff and school governors are asked to contribute, as of course are the children.

 Other areas which contribute to the School Development Planning Process:

• school data and assessment indicators
• key under performing groups
• trends and suggestions from our stakeholder questionnaires
• issues which have arisen from our own monitoring of teaching and learning
• our own strategic direction for the school e.g. Forest Schooling etc.

 The plan is then formulated using this information. The purpose of the school Development plan is to review and evaluate the impact of the previous year’s developments, identify key areas for school Development and to outline the action to be taken in key areas
