4.1 Align appraisal targets and review job descriptions for both teaching and support staff to the school development plan with a relentless focus on improvement priorities and improved outcomes for pupils

4.11 Review and update assessment policy to reflect recent changes to the data management system and assessment practices

Autumn Term Update:

 

We have a senior leadership team made up of Mrs Macdonald, Mrs Cole and Mrs Garraway. We firmly believe that this model of distributed leadership enables the most effective leadership of the school. Carole Green continues as the Chair of Governors and is being ably assisted by the other governors in the team.  Mrs Green has successfully appointed 1 staff governor, 2 parents governors and 1 local authority governor.  The Senior Leadership team have received training on the use on an online Safeguarding programme.

 

The school's NQTs are being thorough the Chartered College of teaching, the school's NQT mentor and the Senior Leadership Team.

 

One to one coaching is also being provided to all middle leaders, this will help to ensure the continued improvement of the curriculum.  

 

Since the beginning of term these teams have been working to ensure the School’s Self-Evaluation and the School Development Plan are accurate representations of where we are currently and where we hope to get to by the end of this academic year. These documents reflect a range of views and an array of data that is available to us.

 

The school’s website is constantly evolving and, as important stakeholders, we would always be happy to hear your suggestions for how it could be improved

further.
