School Improvement Plan

Transcription

1 School Improvement Plan We have a School Improvement Plan (SIP) that is aimed at ensuring we not only sustain the Good judgement we received at our last Ofsted Inspection (November 2011) but build on it and move towards being judged as outstanding. We have identified objectives/targets around four key areas: Standards Quality of Teaching Behaviour and Safety Leadership and Management For each objective/target we have identified success criteria (what it will look like if we meet the objective target) and listed where we will get our evidence from. (How will we know?) We have also identified a series of time related actions for each objective/target. Our objectives are aimed at helping us to ensure our vision is realised in practice (see Vision Statement in appendix). The objectives/targets under the four key areas are detailed below. Please find a list of acronyms attached to the back of the document. (Appendix 1) 1. Standards Objective/Target: Standards are high and most children make good or better progress from their starting points Success criteria (What will it look like?) The % of pupils making expected progress are at least in line with National Averages The % of pupils making more than expected progress are close to National Averages Progress data regarding predictions for KS2 SAT outcomes Work scrutiny reports

2 The gap between the performance of pupil premium pupils and all other pupils nationally lessens year on year Progress within, and across, year groups is consistently good End of KS2 targets are met Overall standards of attainment in reading, writing, maths are above average The % of pupils achieving national expectations, and exceeding them, in literacy match the percentages achieved in Reading and Maths Targets for 2015 as detailed in the pupil premium report are met Termly pupil progress review reports Annual Pupil Premium Report Reports on impact of interventions KS2 SAT results Raiseonline Reports (see Appendix 1) End of year progress data for all classes Review of writing action plan and analysis of impact 2. Quality of Teaching: The quality of teaching is consist and much is outstanding Success criteria (What will it look like?) Overall the vast majority of teaching is good: At least 80% of teaching is good in relation to teachers on M1-3 All other teaching is at least good There is some outstanding practice particularly in relation to teachers on M5-6 and UPS The feedback and marking policy is used consistently across the school and there is evidence that through high quality and constructive feedback and marking children make good progress Children are involved in planning the curriculum, they love it, it is fun and it meets statutory requirements The feedback and marking policy is used consistently across the school and there is evidence that through high quality and constructive feedback and marking children make good progress Drop in observation reports Formal observation reports Performance Management data/reports Work scrutiny reports Pupil conferencing regarding feedback and marking, curriculum and IT Reports of external moderation of Year 6 work External review of Quality of Teaching Planning documents (long, medium and short-term) School Council minutes Skills checklists IT action plan Club registers Annual parent/carer and pupil questionnaire

3 Children are involved in planning the curriculum, they love it, it is fun and it meets statutory requirements High quality provision for IT results in learning being further extended and enriched across the curriculum Performance management targets are met The learning environment checklist is adhered to consistently across the school resulting in the environment in all classes/ areas presenting as well cared for, exciting and relevant Children know their targets, know how well they are doing and what they need to do to improve A positive climate for learning is evident Teachers have high expectations of all pupils Feedback and marking scrutiny reports Progress data Environment check reports Subject leader reviews 3. Behaviour and Safety: Behaviour is exemplary and the school is a safe, happy and inclusive place for all Success criteria (What will it look like?) Pupils take pride in their work Most parents say their children feel safe at school and that behaviour is good Most children say they feel safe and happy at school, are not bullied and that behaviour is good. They understand what constitutes unsafe situations and how to keep themselves safe Attendance is good (staff and pupils) Bullying and racist incidents, in all forms, are rare and are dealt with effectively Skilled and consistent behaviour management by all staff is evident resulting in consistently good behaviour on behalf of the pupils which contributes to the positive climate for learning Staff feel valued and supported to do their best, and morale is high Annual parent/carer and pupil questionnaires Observations Reports (behaviour, attitudes, pride, manners) Attendance/lateness data Safe at School Survey Bullying/racist incident data Behaviour logs Feedback from staff, parents, visitors Performance Management reports Annual staff questionnaires Monitoring reports regarding policy in practice Pupil conferencing (regarding behaviour, bullying etc.) Feedback from School and Parent council

4 Movement and transitions are calm and ordered and behaviour beyond the classroom is good. Pupils pride in the school is shown by their excellent conduct, respect, manners and punctuality Pupils attitudes to learning are consistently positive across the school and there is a positive ethos in and around the school pupils display a thirst for knowledge and love of learning Pupils work well as a whole class, in groups, or on their own 4. Leadership and Management: Leadership at all levels is effective and leaders are highly ambitious for the school Success criteria (What will it look like?) Leadership is judged as at least good overall: Self evaluation is thorough and accurate, planned actions are based on a deep and accurate understanding of the school s performance and lead to improvement in all areas of the school s work Achievement for those supported by pupil premium has improved and any gaps in performance have been lessened Leaders focus relentlessly on improving T&L and overall teaching is good Rigorous PM arrangements for all staff are in place and agreed targets/objectives are met All staff support and understand the schools priorities/vision Standards are above average and the % of pupils making expected progress is at least in line with National Averages The curriculum promotes and sustains a thirst for knowledge and a love of learning. It covers a wide range of subjects and provides opportunities for academic, technical and sporting excellence External review of SIP/SEF Head s termly reports to the Governing Body SIP and evidence files SEF Pupil premium report Disadvantaged pupils reports on progress Performance Management Policy and individual reports Annual staff and parent/carer questionnaires Governors minutes Data on quality of teaching Progress data (internal and Raiseonline) Safeguarding Board minutes Subject Leader reviews School and Parent Council minutes Safe at School Survey

5 The school s arrangements for safeguarding pupils meet statutory requirements and staff are well trained in identifying pupils at risk of harm and respond appropriately Through highly effective, rigorous planning and controls, SLT and Governors ensure financial stability and efficient management of all financial resources. This leads to excellent deployment of staff and resources to the benefit of all groups of pupils The school works well with parents and carers who are seen as partners in the education of their children and are very supportive of the school Communication is good and the opinions of everyone in the school community are able to be voiced Children s views are sought, valued and acted on Subject leaders are effective, have a clear view of coverage of skills and NC content/requirements in all year groups. They are clear about the quality of T&L in their subject areas and lead by example Key leaders consistently communicate high expectations & ambition. Governors systematically challenge school leaders Monitoring reports (internal) SAT results
