Priorities for the School Improvement Plan 2016 -2017
Prior to the new academic year we review and evaluate what has gone well and where together we might improve further. We also consider the implications arising from reviews from children and parents and by outside agencies, including those by the local authority, by the diocese, or by Ofsted. We also take into account any new statutory requirements. This frames priorities for future improvement which form the basis of a school improvement plan. In the coming year we have identified and will aim to improve our practice by focusing on the following:

Tracking attainment across school
In 2014, the National Curriculum went through a period of change and expectations for each academic year was revised and re-written.
Key Stage Coordinators at school have developed a list of key assessment criteria (KACs) for each year group which closely follows the learning objectives outlined for Reading, Writing and Mathematics.
Every half term, each child’s work is assessed against the KACs and a judgement is made on their individual performance and attainment. Most pupils will perform at ‘Expected’ levels of understanding. Few are ‘Working towards Expectations’ and are identified as needing additional support in some areas of the curriculum. Similarly, towards the end of the academic year, some pupils will demonstrate ‘Exceeding levels of learning and understanding’.
This attainment is tracked and analysed so that future work is planned to address weaknesses or to develop and extend learning in English and Mathematics.
In the final summer term, the KACs are closely linked to the outcomes in both Science and Religious Education.
Each year group’s KACs for Reading, Writing and Mathematics are available to view by downloading the relative documents from the website. This will give some indication as to what your child is expected to achieve at the end of each academic year.
