Our School Improvement Plan

Flourishing a community of

Curious Minds, Kind Hearts, and Resilient Learners,

Rooted in God’s love.

Our school improvement plan (SIP) provides information regarding the key priorities identified through self evaluation for the next year. It is used to help drive school improvement and is monitored by school governors.

This year the priorities were agreed as a result of:

School Improvement Partnership County Visits and reports
Initial Headteacher observations
Pupil and parental voice
lesson observations and learning walks
pupil progress meetings
