Priorities for the Year The Willows

• To continue to raise standards in writing across the school to impact on reducing the gender gap

• To develop a consistent language of maths across the school with focused opportunities for children to apply their maths knowledge through real experiences

• To ensure that work is planned with clear differentiation to allow progress within all key groups across school

Haveley• To continue to raise standards in writing

across the school to impact on reducing the gender gap and to continue to bring Age Related outcomes closer to National

• To develop teaching practice that supports the progress of all groups, especially the HA (through use of peer coaching model)

• To further develop differentiation to support progress and independence for children with SEN

Shared Priorities• To ensure that the new curriculum develops and excites all learners (ensuring that key

basic skills are applied)• To develop assessment structures and tracking within the new curriculum to enable

progress and achievement to be clearly measured • To develop the use of new IT software and hardware to enhance learning and enable

delivery of the new ICT curriculum • To ensure that the use and development of The Bridge supports the narrowing the gap

agenda for our vulnerable families and children

Challenges for the future

• Keeping standards high in light of 85% notional 4B test outcomes in 2016, in a world of no levels

• Showing progress within a non-standardised system that won’t show true value added until 2023

• The changes to the SEN code of practice, less funding, more need from school budget for supporting children with SEN and higher expectation of progress for all children

• Being aware that Ofsted frameworks will change to match the higher expectation and the implications of this

• Keeping to our beliefs and values within this context
