Good (2) Pupils benefit from teaching that is at least good. This leads to substantial growth in

pupils’ knowledge, promotes very positive attitudes to learning and ensures that pupils are achieving well.

Pupils and particular groups of pupils have highly positive educational experiences at school that ensure that they are well prepared for the next stage in their education, training or employment.

Pupils’ progress is not held back by an inability to read accurately and fluently, or to use their mathematical knowledge, understanding and skills effectively. Those pupils who have fallen behind are being helped to make substantial and sustained progress in their reading.

The school takes effective action to enable most pupils, including the most able, disabled pupils and those with special educational needs, to reach their potential.

Other principal aspects of the school’s work are likely to be at least good. Deliberate and effective action is taken to create a cohesive learning community

through the promotion of pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, and their physical well-being. There is a positive climate for learning.

Milestones

A Strategic Plan was developed with clear goals and milestones. Milestones allow us to monitor, evaluate and review at key points. We will be working on some milestones for the current year.

The Teams

The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.

-Phil Jackson Coming together is a beginning.

Keeping together is progress.Working together is success.

- Henry Ford

Staff Meeting Teams

Rationale - To work smarter and for us collectively to review the priorities in the SSP. This shouldn’t just be a job for SLT. It is our school and collective ownership and teamwork will build on the improvements from last year. We need to challenge each other and be accountable for our actions.

Staff will assign themselves to a team – Teaching & Learning, Curriculum & Inclusion.

Each team will lead and drive change through planned provision. Each team will focus on all priorities within the SSP.

Teams will be expected to take minutes and give regular feedback on the work that has taken place.

2014-2015 The Changes

Build on the successes of the school – marking, peel off etc. –this is a real strength

3 sessions in the morning (maths fixed)Use of fourth teacher Cross Curricular Learning (English & maths)Embedding ICURE Progress (Independence, Communication,

Understanding &Knowledge, Resilience, Engagement)Assembly → BreakLunch 12.10 – 1.10Afternoons for P.E. and other elements of themeMusic provision – Jan ScottChanges to MFL

Changes

Staff meeting teams → Peer assisted learning to monitor, evaluate and review the SSP

PPA (full time teachers in year groups 1 day every 2 weeks. The potential for ways of working and thinking are huge…)

Other considerationsMorning tasks, supervision of pupils during

lunch, lining up

Movement Around the School

It is all of our responsibilities to ensure that children behave well and are respectful. We need to be good role models.

Four Teachers…What could it be?Purbrook Junior School

Developing and Sustaining Outstanding Practice / Building on Professional Expertise

Each Year Group will be appointed a fourth teacher equivalent to 3 days per week

The purpose of the fourth teacher is to work in close partnership with colleagues to maximise ability and outcomes

The fourth teacher in each year group will have dedicated time to work with Pu[il Premium children and will be accountable for their attainment

and progress

Outcomes will be discussed/analysed and acted upon regularly to ensure QFT consistently improves in relation to contextual need and linked to

team meetings (Year Team meetings will be held weekly)

This new way of working is the opportunity to be creative in order to maximise outcomes Planned activities will include:

1.1 Analysis/support /feedback of planned Teaching and Learning over time which will secures understanding through revision and consolidation

1.2 Working with a specific group of children to establish secure relationships and AfL knowledge to model outstanding practice

1.3 Team teaching

1.4 Observations of learners in relation to a key focus

1.5 Observations of teachers in relation to a key focus

1.6 Analysis of how marking supports and challenges children

1.7 Supporting by marking pupils work

1.8 Analysis of learners in specific roles/small scale action research

1.9 Analysis of impact of agreed core skills being taught

1.10 Identification of a year group test to summarise pupil ability in relation to core age-related expectations in the NC

1.11 Collaboration between teams will drive school strategic improvement
