School Development Plan 2016 - 2017
Having embedded the expectations of the National Curriculum 2014 over the last two academic years, we continue to focus on improving standards throughout the curriculum. Reading, Writing and Maths remain our priorities in terms of monitoring progress and attainment throughout school. All staff know and value the importance of maintaining the high expectations in these areas and these are monitored by the HT, SLT and Subject Leaders throughout the year. This also is quality assured by learning walks with the SSIP and through the monitoring and evaluation schedule conducted by all

staff throughout the year. The main focus for these areas is at 10, 20, 36 weeks where progress and attainment are monitored for all groups of pupils and interventions identified to support school improvement.
All other subjects are taught, evaluated, re-addressed and redeveloped in a creative and cross-curricular way, taking into account the commitment and belief we have as a school in our own creative curriculum, which teaches children the skills necessary for life, learning about topics of interest that are relevant to their own life experiences, but also expand their understanding and tolerance of their community and the wider world. Subject Leaders will continue to further develop their own roles in the close monitoring and evaluation of these subjects.
We acknowledge that subject leaders are at various stages of their own development within their role and have a deep commitment to the development of teachers as leaders and managers outside of their own classrooms as Subject Leaders, Middle Leaders and Senior Leaders. Staff have a clear understanding of their own roles within the structure of school and know how vital their role is within school in terms of what they contribute to school and the impact their leadership and teaching have upon the learning that takes place, attainment and achievement. A commitment of time and resources to monitor and achieve this has been given to all staff for their own continuing professional development needs. Their development this year focuses on the further development of skills of lesson observation and professional feedback to colleagues, including newly and recently qualified teaching staff who are new to the role of subject leader.
Senior Leaders are focussed on the development of their skills in line with safeguarding procedures and professional skills of coaching others. The staff are fully committed to the shared vision of providing a high quality education in a caring and supportive learning environment following our school motto of ‘Care, Courtesy and Consideration’.
Our key priorities for the forthcoming school year are:
Reading – To develop, promote and enhance reading provision and the profile of reading throughout the school. Writing – To develop the use of ambitious vocabulary across the curriculum to improve the content of children’s writing To develop the teaching of grammar across school Maths - To ensure depth and mastery in Maths teaching.Differentiation – To ensure that differentiated activities, which are tailored to meet the individual needs of pupils, are impacting positively on the progress made by each pupil.Assessment – Focus on the use of progress data alongside attainment data in the pursuit of raising standards, including staff training in how to use data to inform their teaching and to develop how this can positively impact upon learning opportunities.Monitoring and Evaluation – Further develop the use of a monitoring and evaluation schedule to maintain and raise standards throughout the school in key areas of teaching and learning, leadership and management,, personal development and welfare and outcomes for learners.Community – To develop relationships with the school community to improve and enhance provision, communication and opportunities offered to all at Warren Wood. To achieve the Leading Parent Partnership Award.
