We have a School Improvement Plan each year to follow, which sets out the priorities for the development of the schools. Key focus areas are below. This next school year will be an exciting and challenging one. We have more new staff to settle in and a building project to deal with! There is also the small matter of keeping up with the Government’s changes to education and schooling whilst Norfolk County Council’s education services are cut back again, leaving schools responsible for much more and with less money to do it with. It will again be a challenge for us all, but we strive for the best and the staff work really hard to make our Federation such a success. Target 1 Focus : To maintain impeccable pupil behaviour to enable the best learning for all Target 2 Focus: To continue to improve the quality of teaching & learning through robust quality assurance processes Target 3 Focus: To raise attainment overall by accelerating pupil progress (especially disadvantaged pupils) Target 4 Focus: To develop outstanding leadership and management across the Federation Target 5 Focus: To improve the quality of the curriculum and ensure staff use agreed assessments consistently 2
