School Improvement Plan (2016/2018)

Overarching Aim For an outstanding Federation, which all staff and pupils are happy and proud to belong

Key: RAG Rating

Green= Outcomes Secure

Completed or on track to be completed as planned

Amber= Outcomes Secure

No risk to completion but amended in some way to ensure outcomes achieved

Red= Outcomes at Risk

Risk to outcomes being achieved and therefore contingency plans implemented

Context

This School Improvement Plan (SIP) is a working document used to set priorities and monitor progress throughout the year. It is written in the context of our newly federated schools; Wroughton Primary Federation, which consists of Wroughton Infant School and Wroughton Junior School. We are an ambitious school and we have high expectations for all our children and staff. We wish to be outstanding in all aspects of our work.

This document sets out the strategic priorities agreed by the Governing Body, Executive Head teacher, Heads of Schools and Senior Leaders. It is informed by the schools rigorous self-evaluation system, the most recent Ofsted report and by the Schools Vision.

Vision

When pupils join our community of learners, they are at a critical stage in their development as young people. Each child brings with them a unique and complex web of skills and needs. As passionate educators, we seek to enhance these skills and respond to these needs so that they feel confident in aspiring to a positive future. We strongly believe that whilst in our care, every child deserves the opportunity to realise their fullest potential. By promoting an environment which seeks to remove barriers to learning and nurture individuals, we encourage the very best from our pupils. The Wroughton Primary Federation is committed to helping children recognise and develop their many talents and, at all times, be Proud to Belong.

At the Wroughton Primary Federation we are ambitious and aspirational for all groups of pupils; we strive to create a culture of high expectations for all stakeholders within the federation. Leaders and governors are working to create a culture that enables pupils and staff to excel. They are committed unwaveringly to setting high expectations for the conduct of pupils and staff.

Our aim is to provide a safe, caring and inspirational environment conducive to learning.

Where all adults work in close collaboration to ensure that children are happy, safe and can achieve.

Where learning is recognised as a valued and lifelong experience.

Where every child is recognised and valued as an individual.

Where the learning and developmental experience is stimulating and varied, memorable and meaningful.

Where children develop a sense of self-worth through their confidence, creativity, social skills and interests.

Where children are encouraged to develop their intellect and academic potential.

Where children are encouraged to reflect on their accountabilities as learners and have ownership of the process.

Where an awareness of citizenship and their role within the local and wider communities is fostered in each child.

Where parents, staff, pupils and governors are justifiably proud of the children and the school.

Our Strategic Plan embodies our total commitment to ensuring every child at The Wroughton Primary Federation makes good progress. It is linked to the 2020 Vision Document as a preliminary audit of needs for the 21st Century Learner and in response to Shift Happens a snapshot of the acceleration effect of globalisation and new technologies.

HT/EHT

There is evidence to show that at least 90% (100% by term 6 for Junior School) of teaching and learning across the federation is good or better. Evidence gathered through a triangulation of evidence: observation/ learning walks, data and book monitoring. Where teaching and learning does not meet this standard, a rigorous programme of support is implemented to ensure rapid and sustained progress.

The schools actions have secured substantial improvements in pupils progress, especially for disadvantaged pupils and specific underachieving groups.

Internal monitoring has identified:

I. A lack of secure knowledge in number skills including place value, number bonds and written methods for calculations.

II. Inconsistency in teaching methods

III. Inconsistency in teacher expectations and challenge

IV. Progress made by prior higher attainers (girls) is not as high as that made by boys

V. Low progress made by children identified as having SEN and children entitled to PP

Context:

The introduction of the New Curriculum poses some challenges for some of our pupils.

Grammar, phonics and reading are generally in line with, or higher than, National expectations.

Writing is our weakest area of literacy at Keys Stages 1&2. At KS2 this has historically been an area of strength, the results for 2016 are lower, and we feel that this is due to new assessment at the end of KS2, and a lack of guidance and confidence- therefore part of the actions are to ensure this guidance and confidence is strengthened throughout the year.

Other areas for improvement are:

Pupils entitled to Pupil Premium funding in all subjects across the federation

Boys in Reading, Writing and GPS (reaching ARE)

Pupils identified as having SEN are making good and above progress

Phonics are slightly below Local and National

EYFS Data shows that 78% of pupils achieved a GLD.

Teaching, Learning & Assessment

Embed high quality teaching and learning in all phases and subjects to challenge and sustain high quality achievement for all pupils.

Context:

As a recently federated school we need to ensure the new curriculum is fully implemented and embedded in all phases and across all subjects; that pupils make progress in their acquisition of knowledge and skills; that progress is explicit in planning, assessment and reporting; underpinned by robust monitoring systems that are regular and efficient.

The removal of National curriculum levels means that we, as a school, are now responsible for designing and implementing an assessment system that show clear co-relation between performance indicators in Years 1, 3, 4, and 5 and those at the end of Key Stages 1 & 2.
