School Improvement
School Improvement Planning
School improvement is determined by a number of factors:
- Robust and effective school self-evaluation
- Internal stakeholders’ views i.e. governors, staff, pupils and parents/carers
- External stakeholder’s views i.e. Local Authority and Ofsted
- The changing needs in a mainstream primary school setting
In order to constantly set a culture of high standards and pupil outcomes, the school must reflect and evaluate. Through a process of evidence-based self-evaluation, Summerlea has a good understanding of its strengths and areas requiring improvement.
We have agreed the following will form the overarching principles of our School Improvement Plan.
In relation to the children
- an emphasis on developing the whole child
- ensuring consistently high quality teaching and learning
- ensuring all pupils make good and better progress
- continually working at closing the gap
In relation to the school culture and organisation
- continually striving to build capacity and sustainability
- building a culture of teamwork and collective accountability
- ensuring high levels of staff satisfaction and fulfillment
- strengthening partnerships and cross-school collaboration
