Raising Achievement Plan (RAP)

Every year, we use our school self- evaluation to help identify the priorities for school development during the coming year. These are organised into the 4 key areas of: Outcomes for Children and Learners; Quality of Teaching, Learning and Assessment; Personal Development, Behaviour and Welfare and Effectiveness of Leadership and Management. In 2021-22 our priorities are:

The aims of our plan for this year are built on the following premises:

• All children and adults are able to thrive in a supportive environment in which emotional needs and well-being are put first.
• Core learning must “stick” so that children can make progress in all subjects across year groups with a particular focus on the foundation subjects.
• Those who find it harder to learn are identified and given the right resources and support to make the best progress they can.
• Being wise, responsible and kind is embedded in daily life for everyone in the community.
