IntroductionThe priorities identified in this school development plan have arisen from a number of different documents and audits. This includesIdentifying key issues to help us achieve our vision and aims

∑ Areas of improvement identified from our last Ofsted inspection March 2014∑ Monitoring and Updating that has taken place within the Self Evaluation Form∑ Results from parent and pupil questionnaires,∑ Staff Inset∑ Key issues from RAISE on line, Norfolk’s key data and school tracking information∑ Taking into account local and national initiatives

This plan outlines the improvement or development opportunities that the stakeholders in the school have identified. The plan will identify the actions, resources, responsibilities, time-scales and success criteria associated with each opportunity and make best use of available funding or resources in order to raise standards. Each section has a progress report which will be updated half termly. The School Development Plan is our prime tool in ensuring purposeful budget planning for the future. It sets out our priorities and our strategic planning to improve upon our past best.

Outcomes from the previous School Improvement Plan (2014-5)Of the priorities in our previous school improvement plan, we have successfully implemented <number> priorities, which have led to improvements in the quality of provision and pupils’ progress.

Priority 1: Improve the Quality of teaching so it is consistently good or betterDuring the course of the last year, the school has replaced staff that were causing us some concern. Since then our new EYFS and Year 3-4 teacher have been judged as consistently good. This judgment has been made through lesson observations, work scrutinies, pupil progress meetings, moderations and learning walks. Data Analysis has demonstrated that pupils have made good progress in the Key Stage 2 classes this year. In all subjects Yr 6 children made an average of 3.25 APS in all subjects. In Yr 5 it was 4.42 APS, Yr4 - 4.33 APS and Yr 3- 3.5 APS. Our EYFS/ KS1 teacher has been with us one term and progress will be monitored as the year progresses.

A new position of Learning Leader was established in the school who has focused on Maths improvement. She have been given increased responsibility and has led staff through dialogue, joint lesson observations and INSET. A mentoring program was established with the Learning Leader working with the deputy at Kenninghall to establish what we should be looking for in good or outstanding teaching in Maths. The Learning Leader has also been on the Outstanding Teacher program and developed her teaching as a result. Governors have also observed good practice through their Deep Dive Days. Marking for Progress policy has been established with children been given the opportunity to improve and reflect and improve on their learning. The learning policy has also been implemented with staff having a clear understanding of what is expected with learning at Carleton Rode.

As a result the progress of children in this last academic year has been good. Marking for Progress has been established with children been given the opportunity to improve and reflect on their learning.

Priority 2: To raise teachers expectations of what can be achieved by pupils in MathsMaths Leader was established in the school who has promoted Maths across the whole school and has worked with two Maths advisors. In the Autumn term LC worked with Paul Andrews raising the profile of Maths throughout the school and developed good Maths practice. Learning challenges were established to ensure that teachers give children sufficiently challenging work. The schools marking policy addresses the issue for guidance with children and their work. These two points have been established and used as part of the staff’s everyday practice to raise standards.

Progress of Maths has been monitored throughout the year and interventions used where identified. An audit of Maths was produced and staff are beingadvised on strategies to improve Maths. Our Maths leader has led INSET with staff on how to deliver the on Fluency, Reasoning and Problem Solving in lessons. Approaches to Maths standardisation and moderation were established with our next Advisor, Anna Hogg and a plan of how how to further improve Maths is underway.

There has been some improvements of Maths this year. In KS2, all four children achieved L4+, with two achieving L5. All children made at least two levels progress. Children made 5 APS on the year alone. Yr 5 children made 5APS, Yr 4 - 4PS and Yr 3 - 3APS. However this will be a target to continue next year to further develop Maths and embed teaching according to the new curriculum and continuing effort to improve standards.

Priority 3: To improve leadership and managementMany aspects in this priority are covered in the earlier two priorities. Learning Leader was established by moving the Early Years teacher to KS2. She has been leading learning through Work scrutinies, lesson observations and lesson plan scrutiny. Monitoring across the school has increased also with regular monitoring every half term. Support from Maths adviser has been mentioned earlier and continues to be used in the school.

A new School Lead was appointed in Easter 2015 who is also assisting in school improvement and leading the school in the headteachers absence. The School Lead forms part of the SLT with the two schools that form the Jigsaw partnership.

Accountability of governors has increased with School Improvement committee being established and meeting every half term and continuation of Deep Dive Days which gives governors a real insight into all the improvement strategies happening in the school and monitoring of school performance.

Good progress been made but this priority but will continue in line with the recommendations from the Ofsted Inspection. Next year we will be promoting distributive leadership throughout the school as the capacity for school improvement has increased.

PRIORITY 1 – Improving the quality of Writing across the school ACHIEVEMENT OF PUPILSRationaleAttainment in Writing for Year 2 last year was down on the previous year. We take into account the cohort of children but this is still an area that needed to be addressed. KS2 results demonstrated that all non-mobile children made two levels progress though attainment could be improved. There are also changes to the curriculums which means that expectations in writing has been risen. School has placed large emphasis on developing reading skills through phonics and reading for pleasure. Although achievement improved in reading, this did not have the expected knock-on effect of improving writing standards.

PRIORITY 2 – Improving the quality of provision and teaching of EYFS RAISING ACHIEVEMENTRationaleAs EYFS is the children first experience of education, we recognise that the learning experience needs to be improved if children are going to have a firm basis in which they can progress in KS1. The teaching has been judged as consistently good. Jigsaw has analysed, through monitoring and discussions with teachers and TAs, the areas to address that can improve outcome for all pupils.The most recent Ofsted framework now has a separate judgement for EYFS. The SLT have analysed the areas that will be inspected and put in the support that will move this judgement to Outstanding.

PRIORITY 3 – Improving the Quality of Maths RAISING ACHIEVEMENTRationaleMaths is an area analysed by RaiseOnline that needed to be improved in 2014. Although 82% made level 4 and above only 36% made level 5. This was also recognised by Ofsted

as an area that needed improvement at the last inspection ("In mathematics, teachers do not give pupils sufficiently hard work or provide enough guidance for them ..." A great deal of success last year was made by establishing the Learning Leader who focused on Maths with external advisors - Anna Hogg from Norfolk LEA and Annie Catlin (School2School support). Staff have a much better understanding on how to teach maths and in raising expectations among children. Our Maths teacher, working with external advisors have been able to identify how to approach the teaching of Maths with the new curriculum and so this year we will develop our skills further to ensure reasoning, fluency and problem solving are integrated to our approaches to teaching and assessing Mathematics. As a result we should see Maths progress even greater at the end of the academic year.

PRIORITY 4 – To improve pupils learning behaviours at school ACHIEVEMENT OF PUPILSBEHAVIOUR & SAFETY

RationaleThe general conduct and behaviour of children in this school is good. We want to address pupils’ behaviours towards learning at school. In Growth Mindsets by Carol Dwack, she explores the concepts of closed and open mindsets. If we can open children’s minds and get them to believe that everyone, including themselves have the ability to succeed and learn successfully. If we are able to get children to believe this, then their attitude and attention to work could be increased and therefore enable all children to make significant progress.We started looking at learning behaviours last year. Our action plan started by ensuring that parents had confidence and felt that the school was a good place where their children can learn. We have been successful in this because our end of year survey suggests that 100% of parents agree that their children enjoy school and that they make good progress. The staff have identified the learning behaviours they want to encourage with the children in their class. The teacher will be taking the role of ‘trainer’, motivating their pupils to develop more effective practices, behaviours and thought processes.The metacognitive approach has according to John Hattie, have one of the biggest size effects in boosting children’s learning.
