Raising Standards

Our school expects high standards to be set and achieved in all areas by staff and children. This includes behaviour, the way we interact with each other and in everyday teaching and learning. Over the past 3 years the school has achieved higher than expected national standards in reading, writing and maths both at the end of Key Stage 1 (Year 2) and Key Stage 2 (Year 6). We will continue to work hard to further improve the achievement of all children.

All staff work hard to promote an atmosphere, within the family organisation, in which each child feels a useful member of the school and where children learn to care for one another, others in their community and those further afield.

The school is subject to both OFSTED and SIAS inspection and a copy of our most recent OFSTED and SIAS reports can be obtained from the Office.

 

TARGET SETTING

Individual ambitious targets are set for all children at the start of each academic year. These are shared with parents and progress against targets is carefully tracked on a termly basis. The tracking enables pupils who need further support at any time to be identified for early intervention, as well as identifying those pupils whose progress is exceeding national expectation and who need further challenge within lessons. In this way, the learning needs of all pupils are recognised and planned for in the most appropriate teaching and learning provision possible.

 

POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR

We have just updated and introduced a new positive behaviour policy. We believe in promoting and rewarding good behaviour and achievement, as well as having clear sanctions for those children who do occasionally break our school rules. All children are able to earn house points which go towards their own personal achievement total and towards their house total. Children are then rewarded as they reach certain milestones. Children’s achievements are celebrated every Friday during our Achievement Assembly.  A full copy of our positive behaviour policy is available on request.
