School Development Plan
2015-2018
SLH July 2015 1
Overview The School Development Plan Supplement includes:
Post Inspection Action Plan
Key targets for 2015 ~ Academic Achievement
Key targets for ongoing development.
The plan will be refined annually to encompass the information from Data Packs, School Monitoring and Local and National Directives.
The 3 year School Development Plan is supplemented annually by detailed individual Departmental Development Plans.
SLH July 2015 2
Aims of the School
1 To provide an ordered, caring environment in which every pupil:
Feels safe and secure
Is able to enjoy school life and be happy in school.
2 To provide an education, giving equal opportunities to all, which is both broad and deep and which enables every pupil:
To develop his or her talents to the fullest possible extent
To achieve the greatest possible success and the best possible qualifications.
3 To make pupils aware of their responsibilities to themselves, other people and their environment, and to encourage
them to take these responsibilities.
4 To provide and promote as full a range as possible of cultural, social and sporting activities.
5 To involve parents and other interested parties in the life of the school and to unite pupils, parents and staff into one
active and flourishing community.
The school has high expectations of its pupils and students in all spheres: behaviour, academic achievement and extra-curricular involvement.
Pupils and students are expected to commit themselves fully in all they undertake. The school aims to give equal opportunities to all. Success
can take many forms, for example:
a pupil with learning difficulties progressing with basic skills of literacy and numeracy
an able 18 year old achieving a place at the university of his/her choice or gaining entrance to a satisfying career
a pupil gaining recognition in sport, music or drama.
The expectation and commitment to achieve as much as possible in and out of school is part of a Gowerton tradition of over 100 years and one
which all Gowertonians should strive to continue.
