Our School Development Plan

How can you help us achieve our objectives?

We plan to:

use high quality daily teaching strategies to help children be independent, reflective and successful learners.
Children in Willow and Sapling Class will improve their reading fluency and accuracy by learning from the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds programme.
Children will focus on mental maths strategies to support their understanding in maths.
Children will have more opportunity to reflect on themselves as learners, the task and subjects they are learning in order that they become more effective and independent learners.
Teachers are trained to ensure each child is getting the very best possible education.
Teachers will closely track the Knowledge and understanding of each child in each subject by using regular assessments and quick quizzes. They will let parents/ carers know what their child needs to focus on.

Ensure your child reads at home at least 5 times a week.

Help your child to complete additional work at home as part of their learning.

Ensure your child attends school every day.

We plan to:

Promote a rich reading culture in Sapling Class including each child developing effective early reading skills.
Further develop the learning environment to make learning irresistible.
Teach children phonics, handwriting and early maths by using Liftte Wandle Letters and sounds, Kinetic Letters and ensuring that children develop strong foundations in maths knowledge and skills.
Develop curriculum routines across the day and week to ensure children are given the opportunity to learn inside and outside the classroom.

Discuss with your child the topics they are learning about school.

Ensure your child reads at home at least 5 times a week.

Further develop our reading spine to support learning across the curriculum
Regularly review our curriculum to support children being self-aware; culturally and globally aware and ready for the next stage of their education.
We will use assessment to identify children's misconceptions and next steps.
We will develop subject specific displays around school that engage students and show their achievements.
We will produce an educational visit schedule to ensure a wide range of cultural experiences for our children.
