Rudston Primary School
School Development and Improvement Plan
2016/2017
DREAM, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE
The School Development Plan enables the school’s vision to be shared and understood by the whole school community. Our aim is to work and
learn together as a community in order to improve and be the best that we can be. The School Development Plan should give everyone an
understanding of where the school is going and what actions will be taken to ensure we get there. We set clear timescales for implementation
and determine how to effectively use both human and material resources to support specific goals. It also helps us plan and prioritise our
budget and guides how we plan and organise staff training. The School Development Plan is designed to give a sharp, clear focus to those
aspects of our work which we believe are most in need of improvement.
Everyone has the chance to contribute ideas as to how our school can improve. Staff, our LSIP and Governors meet termly to review how
successful our improvements have been and agree priorities for the coming year. We ask parents, staff and children to share their ideas
through questionnaires and the school council. We want everyone to support us and help us improve and this can only happen if we are all
involved. We are constantly reviewing everything we do at Rudston Primary School based on assessments, observations, feedback from all
stakeholders and most importantly the needs of all children in school. These reviews help us to inform our School Improvement plan. In addition
we seek to implement new national and local initiatives. School Improvements are implemented in various ways including revised curriculum
delivery, events, training, schemes and resources, focused initiatives and through partnership with colleagues.
There are four key priorities for the plan. We wish to achieve each target as fully as possible; therefore they will drive our training, resources,
teaching and learning, monitoring, evaluation and review over the next year.
Professional development INSET days are an important part of this process. This academic year they will be taken as 10 identified twilights and
tailored to staff group needs. In addition to this, all staff are keen to keep up to date with new initiatives. Therefore, individual teachers and
support staff have undertaken and will undertake training throughout the year in order to further their own professional development and to
strengthen the subject expertise on the staff. This includes collaborative work with local and regional schools.
Phase Leaders and Subject Leaders develop their own Subject Leader Plan which identifies key areas for development within their own
curriculum area for the academic year. The subject lead plans form the ‘Curriculum Improvement Plan’ and the Phase plans are developed
throughout the year following monitoring , evaluating and analysis on a regular basis to set milestone targets and desirable outcomes.

Rudston Primary School Aims
We aim:
1. To be an inclusive school and to put into place the practice in all aspects of our work that ensures that all learners are given equality of opportunity
and treated fairly.
2. To promote and achieve high standards for all by providing teaching and learning of the highest quality.
3. To use data and tracking to ensure all pupils make outstanding progress and they are involved in understanding their next steps to learn.
4. To treat learners as individuals and to differentiate teaching and learning to take account of their individual and any additional needs .
5. To provide well for learners’ physical, mental, social, spiritual, moral and cultural needs.
6. To provide well for learners’ care, health and safety.
7. To ensure that all learners benefit from a rich, broad, balanced curriculum presented in an interesting, exciting and imaginative manner with lots of
opportunities for purposeful experiences that enable pupils to learn to learn.
8. To teach basic skills and core subjects well and to give great emphasis to the foundation subjects and RE through a thematic and creative approach.
9. To make connections between subjects and aspects of learning and to apply basic skills across the curriculum. To give consideration to pupils input
into the direction of the learning and to listen to their feedback acting accordingly.
10. To enliven and enrich the curriculum by visits, visitors and extensive use of the environment
11. To make parents and the wider community partners with the school and to involve them in the evaluation of its success.
12. To build an ethos marked by a welcoming, friendly, bright and lively, happy place where learners feel secure. A place where good behaviour and
attitudes to learning are expected and where learners enjoy growing up and staff feel valued. Through implementing Communication Friendly
Spaces principles we aim to make this school a comfortable and secure place of enjoyment where success is celebrated and acknowledged and we
continually strive to improve and be the best we can be.
We will continually strive to achieve the school’s aims through the formal curriculum and through all the other experiences offered to our children. High quality education will raise the children’s standards of attainment, enabling them to:
develop their use of English and Maths which provide the foundation for all their other learning
learn social skills that encourage agreeable interactions between their peers as well as adults
treat everyone in an equal manner, irrespective of gender, race, class or disability
develop personal and moral values that are respectful of others, leading to their appreciation and toleration of other religions and other ways of life
learn in a safe and secure environment, in keeping with Health and Safety Regulations that are in the interests of all whom work in the school.
School Context
This is a larger than average Primary school (NOR 423) with a PVI Nursery –Bright Stars and Children Centre on site. The school serves an area of low levels of
deprivation(0.14) compared with national (0.21) and low FSM entitlement (17.5%) compared with national (25.02%). The number of pupils on roll has increased following
amalgamation in January 2012 to 423 pupils. We have a high waiting list (in year transfer approx. 58) and have been oversubscribed for admissions into Reception in the
last 3 years. We were 7th
in Liverpool out of over 100 schools for ratio of applications per place. Our data for Ethnicity indicates 9.5% of our children belong to minority
ethnic groups which is lower than the national average(31.6). A proportion of pupils have barriers to learning and additional needs (12.1%) which is in line with national
averages (12.1%). We have less than national SEN with a statement or EHC plan 0.2% compared with 1.3% national. The school’s leadership team includes the HT, DH, and
3 assistant heads. The EYFS Assistant Head is currently on a year secondment with HOPE University. We have 3 TLR post holders for 2016/2017 focused upon PE There have
been a further 2 NQTs taken on this year on fixed term contracts to cover secondments staff have taken on working within school and in partnership with HOPE University.
PPA and additional time is covered by specialist teachers in Digital Literacy, MFL (Spanish) and PE and in addition J. Kelly teaches Art one day per week. The Chair and Vice
Chair of Governors is experienced and worked with Rudston for many years and there has been stability to the membership of the Governing Body. All contribute on a daily
basis consistently as advisors or volunteering within the school.
The Learning Challenge Curriculum is in place at Rudston and Thinking Maps and the Communication Friendly Spaces philosophy have been rolled out across school. The
school has had to address maintaining raising standards and progress expectations over the three years and has been effective in achieving this through a range of
initiatives and approaches. Our provision now needs to support improved outcomes for our disadvantaged children and more able children. We need to improve progress
from EOKS1 to EOKS 2 from in line with national to above. Outcomes for Maths at the end of KS 2 needs addressing urgently .Performance Management, staff development,
coaching and mentoring have been instrumental in ensuring staff progress and professionally develop further to ensure consistent approaches across the sites and key
stages. We will continue to use PM to drive the quality of teaching, learning and assessment.
Rudston was judged as ‘Good’ in all areas by Ofsted Jan 2014. We are driving towards being ‘Outstanding’. Since Ofsted (Jan 2014) all school stakeholders have continued to
commit to the developed mission -DREAM, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE and values – Respect, Resilience, Enjoyment, Challenge and Responsibility. Standards in all areas have risen
across school now being above national in EYFS Good Levels of development (82% 2016 compared with national 66.3% 2015), Phonics Screening at Year 1 (92% compared
with 77%) ,EOKS 1 ARE Reading, Writing and Maths. EOKS 2 ARE is above in Writing , SPG. Reading is in line and maths is below.The number of children at ARE in each class
has risen in 2016 compared with 2013 ,2014& 2015. We still need to improve standards across KS 2 consistently to ensure better progress and more than expected progress
by the EOKS2- particularly in reading and maths. At KS1 and KS2 further focus on development which includes raising expectation and challenge for pupils in all classes is
necessary to raise the number of children making more than expected progress for PP and MA groups. Feedback and marking needs embedding consistently and individual
staff need to share good practice to ensure pupils have ownership and a great involvement in assessments& progress measures. The Phase Leaders will need to lead their
phase , identifying with staff the areas of focus and interventions and strategies necessary termly in response to the SDIP. Our developing approach and ‘o’ tracking system
along with the delivery of Learning Challenge Curriculum, is crucial to maintaining good provision moving toward outstanding. Having implemented and summarised data
sets in line with the new assessment system, a programme of standardisation and moderation will continue throughout 2016/ 2017with a network of local schools for
comparable standards for each year group and a local group of 3 context comparable school . Rudston remains in partnership with Hope University and is a key member of
the G10 local schools network. We contribute towards Liverpool Learning Partnership. The SLT supported an Academy in Halton from September to December 2015. Many
staff have delivered specialist lectures and workshops for SIL and local Universities. The HT has mentored 2 Aspiring Heads on the SIL course over the academic year.
All staff chose to be in the 4 priority groups 2015/2016 and have worked together on the 4 priorities of the school development plan. This development is displayed for children across school and they are
involved in evaluating progress towards the progress and contributing to improving and suggesting ideas. The Priority leads prepared feedback with regard to the 4 key areas to establish the achievements and
how the aims of the SDP 2015/16 plan have been met. These have been summarised and presented to the LSIP and Governors .
SLT and Phases have had meetings through the year to look at Ofsted guidance and make judgements with evidence of where we lie and what we need to do further to improve. This has informed the 2016/17
SDP alongside the School Self Evaluation September 2016.

Marking and formative marking quality
Visits to local schools and national to review their maths provision – schools with outstanding outcomes for maths
Priority Team – staff meetings
Resources review- incl use of resources
Developing standards files for maths with exemplification
Class teachers in year groups to observe each other
Historical data from 2013 illustrated a slight reduction in levels of attainment specifically for those higher
attaining children in both KS and KS2. This was exemplified by our 07 APS variance on National with school
achieving 28.9 APS in 2012 and 28.35 (R), 28 (W), 27.8 (M) 2013 at exit 2013 KS2.
In 2014 following a full year following the Liverpool Maths plans there was a raise in attainment and above
National average at all levels - 81% KS1 and 84% KS2 at ARE (2013 75% and 80%). However, concerns raised
from discussion with colleagues over the impact of the higher expectations at the end of key stage
Pupil interviews and teacher consultation highlighted a lack of embedded conceptual understanding due to a
tendency, particularly at upper KS2, to teach procedure before embedding these skills.
Key issues considered during this priority :
New end of Key Stage testing in Summer
Changing to assessment without levels
Equipment and resources
Focus on progress and attainment across all pupil groups and particularly PP group (Closing the
gap)
Development of a Maths Focus group to drive the priority
Consistency across the school and within year groups with an agreed approach using specific
teaching and learning strategies and styles.
Parental involvement
Through termly questionnaires children show a love of maths for different purposes and have a good attitude
towards maths and confidence in maths learning. Maths is a focus across the setting with an inspiring
learning environment
The outcomes show a much stronger grasp of basic skills and through pupil interviews the children were able
to articulate problem solving and reasoning strategies far better. After further discussion with staff and SLT it
was felt that we should collectively further exploring the Singapore approach through published schemes. In
the final term of the project staff engaged in ‘White Rose Hub’ planning for mastery in preparation for the
introduction of ‘Maths No Problem’, a Singapore approach to mastery teaching. It was felt, following training

for all staff, that the children are now in a good position to take on the new challenge of a full Singapore
approach to teaching Maths. If it had not been for the ‘Love of Maths’ and mastery approach to teaching
undertaken this year, this would not be the case. Systematic basic skills teaching is in place daily .Children
show a love of maths for different purposes and have a good attitude towards maths and confidence in
maths learning. Maths is a focus across the setting with an inspiring learning environment.
There is consistent delivery of maths daily to ensure children build on their concepts, skills and knowledge
rapidly.
Children can access maths resources to ensure they learn independently and beyond the concrete. Children
develop their abstract and conceptual understanding which is evidenced through pupil discussions in
explaining their maths understanding. Children (95%+) say they enjoy maths and it is fun.
Monitoring shows that classes deliver guided reasoning through lessons regularly each term use the outdoor
appropriately - evidence in books, twitter, website. Planning clearly indicates increasingly inspiring maths
provision. Star of weeks are often showing maths. Radio broadcast focus upon maths at least 1x per term.
Provision is focused and inspiring across school and it is clear in all classrooms that maths is a priority. We need to ensure teaching is consistently good enough across school to ensure they continue to make rapid progress. The July data and monitoring suggests that pupils progress last year indicated that teaching has not been consistently good enough to overcome previous poor teaching and underachievement Low attaining pupils have not closed the gap sufficiently at EOKS2. PP and girls have not sustained high (Greater Depth) . Children in school are making good progress 82% across school at ARE sustaining from 2014/15 83%. EO EYFS 92%, EOKS1 -81% EOKS2 – 57%. The data suggests that Yr 6 2017 are currently at 79% and need to sustain and improve through the academic year to improve outcomes at EOKS2. Skills in EYFS and KS 1 are improving and this needs to be sustained through KS 2 with increased expectations and challenge. KS 1 data ARE school 81% compared with national 73% and GD 25% compared with Nat 18% shows an improved position. New staff have joined the school and need to be inducted into the Rudston delivery and required expectations. Non- negotiables for provision are to be in place by October 2016 . Data , moderation and pupil progress is consistently improving across the school (See data summaries) . Analysis shows a lack of resilience through Yr 6 test paper and answers not attempted in latter questions. Children did not perform well with positional and direction questions (55% correct) , ratio and proportion (50%,75%a and 96%)and calculation (65%) in line with national. The children performed well with shape questions =13% compared with national. Maths will be a Key Priority 2016/2017. Maths No Problem will be implemented across school. Year 6 will visit local schools to consider provision for Year 6 maths and in developing resilience
Priority 2 : To develop a ‘Love of Science’.
What (Action) Impact Book Scrutiny and moderation ½ termly with learning walks

Analyse data and provide all class teachers with information
Establish a training plan for all staff
Identify and put up a Science display in new Science room
Ensure Science is reflected in Long Term LCC plans on website
Ensure MA for Science are identified in MA plans
STEM grant application
Pupil attitudes to Science are very positive: 92% enjoy science lessons,86% feel that what they learn in Science is really useful 81% feel that the questions in Science lessons help them learn more science From pupil questionnaire :
44% of children do not know if they get good marks in Science
66% usually understand what the Science lesson is about Groups of children have visited Hope University to talk about Science. They have also attended and delivered at a Science STEM conference with the subject Lead (WW). At EOKS2 89% achieved ARE compared with 81% nationally. 90% compared with 86% Disadvantaged. Whole school data shows that 89% are working at ARE or above (exceeding target of 85%), but only
22% exceeding, below target of 35%.100% have made good progress.
Children are secure in scientific knowledge but need to enhance skills in scientific enquiry. This shows a
slight increase from 87% ARE and above in 2015 but decrease from 28% exceeding in 2015. Learning
walks, lesson observations and book scrutiny comparing previous work show an increase in attainment
of all groups of learners and moderation shows that slight decrease in data is a result of more accurate
teacher judgements and greater understanding of ARE.
LCC is being used to deliver Science through a creative and engaging initial question that is linked to a
key text. This is monitored and sessions are focused and progressive in Learning Challenge Key Sceince
questions. There is growing evidence of a conclusion to topic which answers the initial question
Every classroom has an inspiring LCC display during the year . Science/LCC displays are evident in all
classrooms to show learning journey through topic and each KS has an interactive Science display to
provoke science talk.
There is evidence of Science in all KSs. Mrs Edwards has provided challenging and engaging sessions for all children as well as the opportunity for all teachers to observe practical science lessons. Monitoring of planning shows that there is good coverage of all strands of science, both linked to LCC and as a standalone subject. Pupil discussions show that there is some inconsistency in the teaching of Scientific investigations, ‘in class we talk and write about Science but we only do investigations with Mrs Edwards’, ‘it would be better if we did more experiments in class because it makes it easier to remember things when you do it’.Gateacre and St Margaret’s High Schools reported that Rudston children had a greater depth and

mastery of science than other comparative Year 7 pupils which was sustained into Year 8. Staff questionnaires also highlight the need for ideas for simple but effective practical investigation
ideas. Books and planning show children have opportunity for some class investigations but there is
limited evidence of children devising their own questions, planning investigations and developing
curiosity. All staff have observed Mrs Edwards to enhance confidence and knowledge in teaching
scientific enquiry. In addition to support teachers an exemplification file is set up and assessment
support booklets given to all teachers to support staff in making judgements against ARE . This has
helped raise expectations and develop moderation in science.
All staff supported in delivering highly engaging Science week ‘The Nest’ which resulted in deeper
thinking and learning for all groups of learners. ‘The Nest’ Science week provided opportunities for
children to engage in problem solving and scientific enquiry. The project has resulted in the school being
shortlisted for the STEM Educate award – Nov 2016 which we are very proud of. This involved working
with local high schools, engaging parents, local schools and high schools.
Books, learning walks and pupil voice highlight provision for effective peer and collaborative learning
which thinking maps used successfully to record questions, ideas and learning.
Need to ensure consistency of marking Science work to ensure children know ‘what they have done well’
and ‘how they can improve”. This will form part of a priority for 2016/2017
Key Actions to follow on with 2016/2017:
Need to focus on moving children to exceeding by allowing child initiated and child led scientific
investigations
Wendy Walters to produce practical ideas handbook linked to each strand to support teachers in delivering hands on Science sessions.
Staff meeting to share ideas that have been delivered to follow up work from Mrs Edwards
Lunchtime sessions from Mrs Edwards to support teachers with planning of scientific investigations
Non-negotiable for Science to include minimum of one child led investigation each half term –
staff meeting to implement Primary Science planning boards from Year 1 to Year 6 to support
independent investigations
Science sessions to include greater level of differentiation to ensure that all children are meeting
ARE and MA are developing scientific knowledge at a greater depth – staff to use
exemplification file to support understanding of expectations. Focus upon More able sustaining
greater depth (EOKS2 93% compared with 99% Nat made progress to ARE from HA)
Priority 3: To harness technology (Digital Literacy)for outstanding learning provision and for exceptional communication
What (Action) Impact Plan developed to raise standards of engagement
(behaviour for learning) through development of broad and rich computing curriculum
Develop staff confidence and skills in delivering such a curriculum in a safe manner through questionnaire, audits and training plan
Sources and resourced a plethora of resources to further engage inclusive of cross-curricular teaching and learning
Develop opportunities and key areas to incorporate computing into literacy
Created a whole-school approach to the constant use of digital media to support teaching and evidence learning

Scheme of work written and provided for all staff across school by CS for DL. Standardised quality with
consistent expectations and progression in place. Staff meetings provided by CS attended by all staff &
Staff accessed and undertaken CPD opportunities which has developed confidence to deliver and use
technology in school . Evidence of computing wide spread (although inconsistent) across classes through
lesson observations. This has enabled more access and contextual learning opportunities for children. All
staff have a greater understanding of the new computing curriculum by Computing Lead (JL) providing
resources, support and training in collaboration with outside support e.g. MGL.
New computing plans2015/16 implemented and given to all staff inclusive of a whole school overview.
Whole-school approaches to the innovative design, adaptation or reorganisation of spaces to fully reflect
the school’s vision for Computing. PPA lead has delivered Digital Literacy sessions weekly to all children
This results in more imaginative and varied learning, teaching and working practices.
Computing has a high priority and clear focus around school. This has impacted upon engagement and
attitudes and attendance improved to 96.5% for pupils
Media room (radio station) used and developed for key groups (Year 6 and after school club. This now needs to be rolled out whole school. The use of computing and i-pads have ensured Inclusive practices -pupils have access to direct experience that have keyed into their learning styles. Digital Learning Journeys rolled out to from EYFS to Year 1. Film, Apps and computing is developing across the school and staff and children use to enhance learning and teaching. Pupils use the skills that they learn in lessons to help them present, record or research in other lessons this is evidenced through work scrutiny and learning walks. This has been achieved by ICT being a target in the performance management process. It will continue to be development with focus upon i-pads, film and the use of the radio station and immersive learning walk to move from an add on approach to learning to be an integral vehicle to learning across school. Whole-school approaches to the innovative design, adaptation or reorganisation of spaces to fully reflect the school’s vision for ICT. This has resulted in more imaginative and varied learning, teaching and working practices. The use of the Radio Station and the Immersive Learning suite has been rolled out by the Computing Lead through a planned approach in 2015/6. QR codes are currently being tested as a method to encourage pupil voice and sharing of media. With the rise of social media, it is important that all staff are aware of potential e-safety issues and cascade that concern to their children at an age appropriate level. The coordinator JL planned e-safety lessons for all year groups. During the year the children have responded well to Year 6 delivering the learning sessions and although few incidents have been reported these are logged and actioned as

ICT and E Safety workshops for parents and families to help support.
KS2 (suite use) – a definite emphasis on computing across the year groups; developing skills from the new planning and computing curriculum. (Algorithms, coding, infrastructure and networking, e-safety)
KS1 (suite use) – emphasis on ICT skills including word processing, desktop publishing etc. KS1 developing keyboard and mouse skills in order to enable children to access higher level ICT features and the computing aspects within the suite.
Across the school, ipads are now being used consistently. FS have presented many facets of learning through ipad use and computing skills – eg PuppetPals, Book Creator and BeeBot.
KS1 usage shows development of ipad skills and cross curricular links to topics (LCC) through research and presentation.
KS2 ipad usage is used to enhance / further learning including independent learning and development of core curriculum areas – eg speaking and listening, writing etc.
Visits have been made to local settings to observe their delivery and provision e.g. Evelyn, Whitefield Primary

appropriate. Safer internet day supports this learning and is paramount to ensure e-safety issues are at the forefront of our thinking at all times. Cyber-bullying has become more apparent and has subsequently been linked-in with use of media has massively developed; -ipads, ebooks, popplets, puppet pals, green screen, computer suite, Twitter used on a daily basis. Staff understanding of capabilities and individual knowledge and confidence. Parents have fed back that they are able to access learning on a daily basis and support their children at home immediately due to Twitter feeds. Clearly structured time allocations being used appropriately coinciding with cross-curricular usage allows for a much more in-depth ‘computing-ready’ child The presence of computing around the school is improving. Displays are apparent, including 2 displays on the KS1 corridor, one display within FS classroom, one display on upper KS2 corridor, e-safety information outside hall to supplement the multi-class display in the Computer Suite. Parents (majority) believe that their children have thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. Some have seen an
increase in the amount and confidence of use of digital technologies. Many believe it has impacted upon
reading / writing. Some believe they have seen a desire to use technology in other lessons. A significant
number of parents believe there has been an impact upon English literacy skills. Few parents are concerned
about the impact of technology upon reading and writing (traditional methods). More positive comments
cite the use of technology to research / learn at home. It may be hard to isolate the impact of DL sessions
upon English literacy, but websites such as Storybird have a clear use in supporting traditional teaching in
this area.
Teachers believe many skills can be nurtured through Digital Literacy provision. Digital Literacy sessions do
seem to have had a direct impact upon learner’s confidence with technology. The way technology allows
leaners to augment knowledge acquisition and presentation is particularly evident. Opportunities to
experience situations unique to technology use can be developed – most likely through class computing
sessions due to strong link to computer science. More iPads requested so teachers can embed app use
further. Definite need for extra training identified.
The vast majority of children do enjoy digital literacy lessons (96%). Children identified certain themes they
enjoyed more than others: ILS plays; digital stories; coding and programming; making videos. Some
children commented that they liked working with partners. Others suggested that it can simplify
complicated topics. Some children saw coding as simply ‘playing games’. Some children were impacted by
missing part of the session due to interventions. Some children stated that they were confused in lessons.
Collectively, children were able to share many of their learning experiences. In particular, children shared
their most recent learning experiences. Some children could articulate the overarching principle of digital

literacy lessons: presenting work in different ways and linking such skills to ‘real-life’ experiences (e.g.
creating adverts); using apps to save work in an organised fashion inc. to the cloud; general device skills
(e.g. typing, user-interaction such as multi-touch commands).
Children take part in weekly digital literacy lessons where they are familiarising themselves with various
types of technology such as robots, beebots, ipads and notebooks. During every day learning, they have
ipads on offer as part of the provision and the IWB, which helps consolidate learning. Children are confident
in the use of both types of technology.
In KS1 children have access to a variety of ways to express their skills in digital literacy, both in their weekly
sessions and as part of cross curricular learning. They use the robots, garage band, educational computer
games, 2create a story and 2paint a picture. Both year one and two complete work in the computer suite
every week as part of their learning challenge.
Children have been making a booklet on the ipads about e-safety. They use scotch to make pacman games.
Lego movie creator and imovie are used as part of the digital literacy lessons. The computers are used for
research and for children to write their own stories. Immersive learning suite used to assist children with
their learning challenge.
Comments were very positive - for some children, Digital Literacy is a highlight of their week. Of note,
some responses indicate that learning is perceived to be ‘fun’ / ‘playing’ which will hopefully develop
positive attitudes to learning. One parent commented that child was disappointed missing any DL for
interventions sessions. 2/59 responses were less than positive.
91% of children were at ARE in Computing and 23% were exceeding (GDL).

Priority Team – staff meetings across Term 1,2 and 3.
The whole school deliver SEAL and have a 3 week focus on ‘New Beginnings’ in term 1. All classes developed their own Class Charters and rules. Each followed the Behaviour Policy and the use of the DOJO system has been hugely successful. We had 0 exclusions in 2015/16 and 100% of our children achieved the 100 Dojo award at the end of the year. The children are very aware of the Class Charter and can explain it when asked. Children readily talk to visitors about the 7 principles of the Art of Being Brilliant and will regularly now ask ‘How has your day been’ etc. Approx 50+ parents attended the workshops during the year and have implemented strategies at home to support school. This has developed a more positive culture and ethos. The school deals with less behaviour issues and complaints have reduced during the year. The Art of Brilliant Lunchtime club has been instrumental in supporting improved outcomes and attendance for groups of children. The PA is reduced and attendance has increased to 96.4% (2016). The club went into the community to do ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ which impacted considerably upon several OAP and the general public in a positive way- feedback received from local public. In December 2015 100% children and parents reported through a questionnaire they felt safe and happy in school. In May 2016 99% said they felt happy in school and 99.5% said they felt safe. Comments from the May 2016 questionnaire were supportive such as ‘Excellent work from all staff here to promote enjoyment of learning. The teachers have a great balance allowing children to feel they can express themselves yet know when it is time to focus. Behaviour issues are dealt with effectively- good parent liaison here’. The Year 6 children were all nominated for an award/trophy in July and each received theirs with pride. Year 7 will return to share their experiences in their new settings at high school in November. This was attended by 96% of the children from the previous Year 6 in Nov 2015. Children show respect for cultural diversity and have developed a knowledge of cultural diversity through a range of different opportunities and provision. A primary goal of culturally responsive education was to help all children to become respectful of the multitudes of cultures and people that they’ll interact with within and once they exit the educational setting. This has been achieved through ensuring the children have a greater understanding and knowledge of each other and focus upon ‘Respect’. This is delivered through a focus on our school core value through radio shows, reflective reflection, assemblies, visits and visitors, the curriculum and debate and discussion. Assemblies include Open the Book, visiting charities such as NSPCC, Crime Busters, Bully Busters, local grandparents and war veterans have developed the children’s awareness of the community. Resources around school have been considered. Displays were developed with the children to question ‘Welcome to our school community’ Children, staff, governors and parents were involved in looking at their cultural heritage and sharing it along with a language used. There are 2 designated displays to share this information and to celebrate our global links and heritage. The children have shown improved and developed knowledge and understanding of various cultures and beliefs in UK and globally. The LCC in place asks key questions e.g to explore Rosa Parks in Year 2 and to understand the word ‘discrimination’ and explore how we can be ‘fair’. The parents have supported this through Learning Log homeworks across school. Year 1’s LCC was ‘I am special, what is on the inside counts’. KS 2 Book Art on Diversity, The Lost Rainforest, Africa Welcoming guest speakers into the school that hail from differing backgrounds and have all made a positive contribution to important fields have also helped to dispel any preconceived notions that children might possess about

the relative competence and value of people from different cultures. Teaching about multicultural role models also serves as an effective method for demonstrating that people of all genders, ethnicities, and appearances can have a positive influence on the world and deserve to be respected and emulated. Parent meetings are well attended by all families. The children have welcomed Rik Waddon (Paralympic athlete to talk about his journey and experiences), leaders from various churches and temples across Liverpool, many visitors from the work place to talk about their role and dispel stereotypical images e.g Eileen is our science lead (gender), Firefighters and Police who are both male and female visiting school. Mrs Hegarty has delivered Signing Choir sessions and 5 children have joined the Liverpool Signing Choir. Charity events have been well supported. The school council have developed ideas to support charities including the Foodbank in December (2 van loads were donated), Children in Need, MacMillan football charity match and Christmas Shoe boxes amongst many more. The Year 6 organised the Coffee and Cakes day and they are continuing to consider charities we could support. The whole school revised plan for RE has been fully embedded. We have sourced resources to support Collective Worship and RE. We now Tweet about Collective Reflective to include the whole school community. Creative reflection areas have been set up in each classroom and in school. This has allowed children to find spaces to contemplate and think when necessary. Children choose to go to these spaces rather than react with others. The Quiet room with Mrs Charnock (school therapist) provides an additional space. Many staff made visits to local schools and national schools to review their British Values provision – schools with outstanding provision. This resulted in adjusting and adding to our curriculum. The children and staff worked together on a display that represented Rudston values and then British values. Hope University have funded 2 artists to work with our children and their students. They have looked at artists from around the world and artists with disabilities. They have looked at how art portrays communities. This has resulted in a community project that included an exhibition at the Tate and Hope University of the children’s work. It includes a Global Alphabet, London work, Seasonal artwork, local trees deciduous to the UK and African art work to support the Rosa Parks learning. The children were very proud of their work and visited with families. We have introduced debate through a Debating Club in Year 5 and 6. We have an Interview Club in addition to this whereby we have invited many members of the community to share their ‘lives’ with the children. We have introduced a ‘Big Question’ starting in Reception to then vote for, pose answers and discuss. We have used radio broadcast to pose ‘Big Questions’. Groups of children visited different schools (e.g St Sebastians, Bishop Eton, Belle Vale, St Gerards) to meet different children and find out about how their school makes their children welcome and how do they learn about respect and values. The children created a booklet that was compiled following their research. Our music lead has developed plans and resources for cultural enrichment through music for collective reflection and displays in the ‘Music Room’ inform about all genres. 100% of children participated in a Christmas production with a global theme and have planned and delivered an assembly in Term 2 to parents. These were well attended by families and each performance and assembly was full. 100% of children achieved ‘Star of the Week’ through year with a focus on our core values including Respect. All children received an award at the end of Year 6 and their ‘For Excellence Tie’. 100% children achieved at least 75 Dojo points over the year. Over 40 children achieved 100% attendance in the academic year.

2016/2017 BEST VALUE STATEMENT
Introduction
The governing body is accountable for the way in which the school’s resources are allocated to meet the objectives set out in the school's development plans.
Governors need to secure the best possible outcome for pupils, in the most efficient and effective way, at a reasonable cost. This will lead to continuous
improvement in the school's achievements and services
What Is Best Value?
Governors will apply the four principles of best value:
Challenge - Is the school’s performance high enough? Why and how is a service provided? Do we still need it? Can it be delivered differently? What do parents want?
Compare - How does the school’s pupil performance and financial performance compare with all schools? How does it compare with LEA schools? How does it compare with similar schools?
Consult - How does the school seek the views of stakeholders about the services the school provides? Compete - How does the school secure efficient and effective services? Are services of appropriate quality, economic? The Governors’ Approach The Governors and school managers will apply the principles of best value when making decisions about:
the allocation of resources to best promote the aims and values of the school. the targeting of resources to best improve standards and the quality of provision. the use of resources to best support the various educational needs of all pupils.
Governors, and the school managers, will:
make comparisons with other/similar schools using data provided by the LA and the Government, e.g. RAISE, quality of teaching & learning, levels of expenditure
challenge proposals, examining them for effectiveness, efficiency, and cost, e.g. setting of annual pupil achievement targets require suppliers to compete on grounds of cost, and quality/suitability of services/products/backup, e.g. provision of computer suite, redecoration consult individuals and organisations on quality/suitability of service we provide to parents and pupils, and services we receive from providers, e.g. Sex
and Relationships Education, pupil reports, assigned inspector, OFSTED, maintenance consultant, borough Energy Group
This will apply in particular to:
staffing use of premises use of resources quality of teaching
quality of learning purchasing pupils’ welfare health and safety
Governors and school managers:
will not waste time and resources on investigating minor areas where few improvements can be achieved will not waste time and resources to make minor savings in costs will not waste time and resources by seeking tenders for minor supplies and services
The pursuit of minor improvements or savings is not cost effective if the administration involves substantial time or costs. Time wasted on minor
improvements or savings can also distract management from more important or valuable areas.
Staffing
Governors and school managers will deploy staff to provide best value in terms of quality of teaching, quality of learning, adult-pupil ratio, and curriculum
management.
Use of Premises Governors and school managers will consider the allocation and use of teaching areas, support areas and communal areas, to provide the best environment for teaching & learning, for support services, and for communal access to central resources, e.g. the library, children’s centre and Bright Stars integrated approach Use of Resources Governors and school managers will deploy equipment, materials and services to provide pupils and staff with resources which support quality of teaching
and quality of learning.
Teaching Governors and school managers will review the quality of curriculum provision and quality of teaching, to provide parents and pupils with:
a curriculum which meets the requirements of the National Curriculum, , The Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, the LA Agreed RE Syllabus, and the needs of pupils
teaching which builds on previous learning and has high expectations of all children’s achievement and progress Learning Governors and school managers will review the quality of children’s learning, by cohort, class and group, to provide teaching which enables children to
achieve nationally expected progress, e.g. setting of annual pupil achievement targets
Purchasing Governors and school managers will develop procedures for assessing need, and obtaining goods and services which provide “best value” in terms of
suitability, efficiency, time, and cost. Measures already in place include:
procedures for accepting “best value” quotes, which are not necessarily the cheapest (e.g. suitability for purpose and quality of workmanship) procedures which minimise office time by the purchase of goods or services under £1000 direct from known, reliable suppliers (e.g. stationery, small
equipment) Pupils’ Welfare Governors and school managers will review the quality of the school environment and the school ethos, in order to provide a supportive environment
conducive to learning and recreation.
Health & Safety Governors and school managers will review the quality of the school environment and equipment, carrying out risk assessments where appropriate, in order
to provide a safe working environment for pupils, staff and visitors.
Monitoring These areas will be monitored for best value by:
1. In-house monitoring by the Headteacher, School Business Manager , SLT, governors and curriculum managers, e.g. classroom practice, work sampling 2. Annual Performance Management & Appraisals 3. Risk Management and Continuity planning 4. Annual Budget Planning 5. Analysis’s of school pupil performance data, e.g. SATs results, standardised test results, results against all schools, LA schools, similar schools 6. Analysis’s of LA pupil performance data 7. Analysis of DFE pupil performance data, e.g.Raise, FFT 8. Analysis of Pupil Premium and accountability for expenditure incl review of impact 9. OFSTED inspection reports 10.

PREMISES DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2016/17
A school’s premises, including its land and buildings, are a valuable asset and require careful management.
Key benefits of managing the school’s premises, land and buildings, fall into four main categories:
Financial – inappropriately designed (e.g. not fit for purpose) or poorly maintained buildings (e.g. which may need to be replaced) can become a substantial drain on resources.
Educational – the school needs to have the right physical resources (e.g. appropriate storage furniture, classroom
furniture appropriate to age of pupils) to ensure that its curriculum meets the diverse needs of its pupils (including pupils
with special educational needs).
Motivational – the condition of the premises and the way the buildings are used can affect the motivation and
effectiveness of the pupils and staff who work in them.
Image – where there is competition for resources (pupils, staff sponsorship etc.), the condition of the school can be a
factor in attracting pupils and staff.
The objective of this Premises Plan is to outline how we plan to maintain or improve the accommodation and grounds to provide a
suitable, stimulating, healthy and safe environment for learning. In doing this we will take account of:
Maintaining the current premises so that they are fit for purpose.
Maintenance requirements.
Quality and fitness for purpose.
Health and safety issues resulting from risk assessments.
Making the best use of the premises.
Utilisation of current space.
Comparison with space standards.
Planning necessary changes/improvements to the premises.
Current and future initiatives in the School Development Plan.
Future numbers of pupils and staff required.
Curriculum developments.
Teaching and learning strategies.
NOTE: In planning premises changes/improvements it is necessary to consider the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) which imposes a duty to make
reasonable adjustments if the premises substantially disadvantage a disabled person compared with a non-disabled person. Examples of adjustments might
be the installation of a ramp for a wheelchair, a lift for access to the upper floor area.
Condition issues identified for improvement/ investment.
