School Development Plan (SDP)

Self-evaluation helps our school improve by giving us a clear picture of how well we are doing and what steps we need to take next. It helps us understand which areas need improvement and guides us in planning actions based on evidence. This process leads to meaningful benefits for our pupils.

There are 5 important aspects to our robust and embedded self-evaluation:-

  1. Self-evaluation processes are an embedded feature of our school improvement cycle.
  2. Self-evaluation involves all staff 
  3. Effective communication and sharing of areas for improvement with all stakeholders
  4. Clear links between staff development and school priorities
  5. Culture of high challenge and low threat

Our school development priorities 2025-26:

  1. To improve pupils’ literacy skills, in particular writing.
  2. To continue to improve pupils’ numeracy skills including numeracy across the curriculum.  
  3. To improve teaching to support pupils’ development as independent learners. 
  4. To improve attendance across the Federation.
