Cultivating Curiosity, Community and Character; Growing Great Citizens
Learning and Engagement
Positive relationships are at the heart of all we do.
Mutual respect is fostered through clear, consistent and high expectations.
Each individual is important, every voice is valued, and rights are respected.
Learning is supported by high-quality, creative teaching approaches which motivate, engage and develop the skills needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Effective Use of Assessment
Staff use a wide range of assessment approaches, allowing all children to demonstrate their knowledge, skills, attributes and capabilities.
Assessment evidence and information is used effectively to understand progress and to plan next steps.
Assessment information is shared with learners who are supported in using this to identify strengths and areas for development.
Quality of Teaching
Our relationships and our teaching are underpinned by our Vision, Values and Aims which reflect UNCRC.
All staff know our learners well and have high and achievable expectations of each individual.
Staff plan and differentiate effectively ensuring appropriate support and challenge.
Staff strive to facilitate high-quality learning through engaging in CLPL which impacts positively on their practice and outcomes for learners.
Staff understand the importance of utilising different learning environments, and outdoor learning is an integral part of our curriculum.
Planning, Tracking & Monitoring
Planning is informed by clear progressions and identifies what is to be learned and assessed across the curriculum but allows for flexibility and is responsive to the needs and interests of our learners.
Robust systems are in place for tracking and monitoring wellbeing, progress and achievement.
Data is analysed regularly and informs improvement planning for learners, staff and school.
