School Development Plan

Making Our School Better

The SEF (Self Evaluation Framework) allows all schools to self assess against the OFSTED handbook criteria. The SDP (School Development Plan) identifies the key priorities for the year ahead.

The School Development Plan (SDP) is written in close liaison with all stakeholders including parents, staff, governors and the children at our school.

The SLT monitor the implementation of the plan within school and the governors monitor the impact closely through governors meetings and visits into the school.

The SDP is evaluated regularly to monitor our progress towards achieving our objectives. The SDP feeds directly into subject specific action plans which identify key actions for senior or subject leaders.

Below is a summary of the areas we are working on to ensure our pupils receive the best education they can. These priorities have been chosen after careful reflection of past years, monitoring and evaluation cycles, feedback from external parties, GLT SIP targets and analysing our data.
