School Improvement
The School Development Plan (SDP)
The School Development Plan is a live document that enables our school’s vision to be shared and understood by the whole school community.
It gives everyone an understanding of where the school is going and provides a rationale as to why each specific objective is a priority. We have set clear timescales for implementation, and determine how to effectively use resources to support specific goals. The process helps us plan our strategy and prioritise our budget. The SDP is designed to give a sharp, clear focus to those aspects of our work which we believe are most in need of improvement.
Our Priorities for 2025-2026
Priority 1:
To refine the Concrete Pictorial Abstract (CPA) approach and strengthen assessment systems in Mathematics and Numeracy, ensuring progressive teaching and effective tracking of pupil understanding and attainment across all year groups.
Priority 2:
To implement a consistent and robust whole school assessment tracking system that supports pupil progress, informs teaching, and aligns with the Curriculum for Wales.
Priority 3:
Strengthen universal provision with a specific focus on enhancing the writing process and outcomes for all pupils.
