Our School Development Plan clearly sets out our school’s strategic plan for improvement. Our plan is negotiated and agreed by our governors, senior leadership team members and staff at Maple Infants’ School. Our plan is structured under the following headings which reflect the Ofsted framework;
PRIORITY ONE - EFFECTIVENESS OF LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
PRIORITY TWO - QUALITY OF TEACHING, LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT
PRIORITY THREE - PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, BEHAVIOUR AND WELFARE
PRIORITY FOUR- OUTCOMES FOR PUPILS
PRIORITY FIVE – EFFECTIVENESS OF EARLY YEARS PROVISION
Our areas for improvement have been based on the following:
Detailed analysis by the senior leadership team and governors of the current strengths of the school and areas or opportunities for improvement
Views of staff, governors, parents and pupils
Detailed analysis of our data – Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1
Feedback from our previous Ofsted inspection
Feedback from other external audiences e.g. School Improvement Partner, other Local Authority advisors
Best practice shared from others
National initiatives or developments aimed to improve the quality of education
