Mount Pleasant Lane JMI and Nursery School ‘Limitless learning, friendship and fun’ School Improvement Plan 2014-15 Mount Pleasant Lane JMI and N School Vision – September 2014 Our school is a creative, nurturing and safe place, where everyone is inspired to learn in exciting and challenging ways. We believe we each have limitless potential and always aim to achieve our personal best. Children at MPL believe in themselves and feel valued. They are guided and motivated to enjoy their learning, build positive relationships and achieve so that they become: Confident, free-thinking and successful learners Aspiring, positive and respectful citizens. Main priority areas: 1. Achievement: Progress throughout KS2 to be accelerated, particularly in Reading and Maths To ensure that progress in KS2 for Reading is at least in line with national (expected progress and exceeded progress) To ensure that progress in KS2 for Maths is at least in line with national (expected progress and exceeded progress) To ensure that PPG children (including CLA) make at least good progress from individual starting points – and that the attainment gap continues to narrow 2. Teaching: All teaching results in children making rapid and sustained progress over time Consistent use of challenge at all levels High expectations for all pupils Consistently good pace of learning Background Priorities: 1. Consistency of practice: Improve further on our quality feedback strategies to promote accelerated progress Ensure consistently high expectations for pupils’ presentation in books Improve consistency of existing whole school behaviour strategies: ‘Sunshine Ladder’ and other reward 2. Increase the influence of pupil voice in improving practice: Pupil Council to be more involved in identifying aspects of school improvement, relating to learning as well as material improvements 3. To increase the engagement of parents in their children’s learning: Head and class teachers to arrange regular progress meetings with targeted parents of targeted pupils. Pupils to be involved where appropriate Post-OfSTED Action Plan (2012 to next inspection) Target 1: Outcome Targets (What we want to achieve) This target should be SMART and should focus on raising standards Ensure that pupils know precisely what skills or knowledge they should develop during each lesson Success Criteria (How we will know when we’ve achieved it) Governor Monitoring and Evaluation LIs will be a focus for staff INSET to ensure that teachers develop skills of writing effective LIs LIs will be a focus for observation feedback and drop-ins LIs will be a focus for pupil interviews Monitoring Meeting with Pupil Council Feedback FGB meetings NS will be a focus for INSET NS will be expected weekly in Maths and Writing and must always result in clear impact on learning/ progress Teaching & Learning Leaders (Team Leaders) will develop best practice in how pupils will know, use and evaluate the impact of implementing their own NS independently Method for raising NS in Reading with pupils to be identified Develop the independence and persistence of pupils in tackling their own next steps of learning.
