Our School Development Plan

What is a School Development Plan?

Every school has a School Development Plan. The school development plan (SDP) is the school’s strategic plan for improvement. It sets out the actions a school will take to improve learner outcomes. A SDP will be informed by the regular self-evaluation a school undertakes of its own performance and contextual data, and will contain the school’s improvement priorities together with short- and longer-term targets.

Our targets for 2025/26 are:

• To improve the quality of monitoring and evaluation to ensure that processes identify areas for improvement robustly, including ensuring that teaching provides suitable challenge for all pupils.
• To continue to develop a curriculum that provides an authentic, cohesive and systematic approach to the development of pupils’ skills over time.
• To improve the quality of pupil feedback to support and provide pupils with meaningful opportunities to respond and improve their work.
• To develop a school culture whereby equality and diversity are celebrated in all aspects of school life.

These have been determined by us as a school by considering the pupils' needs, staff views and actions arising from our monitoring cycle.
