Every year, we use our school self- evaluation to help identify the priorities for school development during the coming year. These are organised into the 5 key areas of: Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership and Management and Early Years.
All objectives are linked to our Christian distinctiveness because we know that it is by living our vision that the objectives are fulfilled.
In 2023-2024 our priorities are:
Key Foundations/Principles - Embrace a culture that allows all members of our school community to flourish including a focus on wellbeing
- Children with additional needs and vulnerabilities are respected, valued and supported to ensure they thrive
- Outcomes in writing and maths improve for all children through the use of quality resources, adaptive teaching and ensuring a high level of challenge
- Strong leadership and management (SLT and governors) ensures the school continues to improve and transition effectively into the next phase (relocation/expansion)
- Children thrive because of our distinctive Church School environment. They know what it is to be a spiritual being and they have a understanding of religious diversity.
