School Development Plan 2015-16
Key Priority 1 2014-15. Continue to focus on achievement in mathematics across the
school in terms of progress and attainment.
Mid -Year Review February 2015
1. Aspirational targets have been set for Year 6 using the new FFT Aspire 20 figures.
This means that we are challenging ourselves and our children to progress at a
rate equivalent to the top 20% of schools nationally.
2. January 2015 Mock SATs data suggests that these figures are often individually
challenging but as a cohort they are attainable. Personalised interventions will be
in place to support our less able pupils and also pupils who have specific “gaps” in
their learning e.g. analogue time
3. Miss Evans has visited Salway Ash and will be visiting other mixed age class
settings to focus on providing quality provision across all abilities in Key Stage 1.
4. Mathletics has continued to be very popular with parents and pupils and the PTFA
have once again agreed to match fund the annual subscription with the school
budget. Mrs White’s availability in the ICT Suite has certainly improved the
positive impact in lessons for pupils across Key Stage 2.
End of Year Review July 2015
1. Our highly aspirational FFT 20 Targets were 94% Level 4+ and 63% Level 5+.
Pre-reviews we missed these by 2 children for Level 4+ and 5 children for
Level 5+ although we are “confident” that at least 1 review will be successful.
Our published teacher assessments will show that in our professional opinion
88% of the cohort was Level 4+ and 38% Level 5+.
2. Our Year 2 assessments confirmed 100% Level 2C+, 88% Level 2B+ and 12%
Level 3+
3. Mathletics continues to be popular with parents and children alike and
certainly engages all learners.
4. Mrs Greenham led a very successful maths open morning in June which
enabled parents to observe quality teaching and learning in action in all 5
classrooms. The feedback has been very positive.
It was agreed by all stakeholders that mathematics progress needs to remain as a
Key Priority for 2015-16 and that extra support should be sought from the Local
Authority. It was agreed that gender should be a key focus not only for data
analysis but also for work scrutiny and lesson observations as there continues to
be a trend for boys out-performing girls which has formed an important part of
our Equality Action Plan work with the Curriculum Committee.
Last Amended 06/03/2016
School Development Plan 2015-16
Key Priority 2 2014-15: To develop a broad and balanced curriculum which engages
children across the school is in line with the new National Curriculum and supports
pupil attainment and progress.
Mid- Year Review February 2015
1. New curriculum map for Key Stage 2 has been published on school website. Very
positive feedback from teachers on first term and a half of new topics. Resources
are the main challenge in terms of time to prepare them…
2. Key Stage 1 curriculum information has been published in a new format on the
school website. There is a mixture of curriculum coverage from the previous term
alongside planning for the new term.
3. A Promoting British Values Statement has been published on the website after
discussion with the Curriculum Committee, the FGB and the Salisbury Diocese
4. The staff team are still familiarising themselves with the new assessment world
without levels and the Pyramid have produced an explanatory document for
parents that will be personalised and uploaded onto our website as soon as
possible. The focus is very much on assessment in English and maths initially.
5. The Curriculum Committee of the FGB have focussed on the challenges that the
new curriculum presents to our staff team and are keen to support as much as
possible. In order to acquire more first- hand experience of the new curriculum
they will re-draft their Governor Visits template to include a section on links to
the new curriculum and how they can best support the teachers with these links.
End of Year Review July 2015
1. The new curriculum map continued to be very popular with staff and children
alike. The new challenge is to re-design it for a 3 class KS2 structure from
September 2015 in view of the increase in numbers throughout the school.
2. The KS1 curriculum information on the website proved difficult to keep
updated and so the team will draw up a new statement for September 2015
and most importantly of all continue to keep parents informed through notices
and posters in the classrooms themselves.
3. The staff team are now more familiar with the concept of assessment without
levels but it is certainly still one of the major challenges to address. The
publishing of data sheets with the annual written reports confirmed that the
new curriculum objectives are pitched at a considerably higher attainment
than the previous ones which led to a considerable amount of dialogue with
concerned parents about the apparently slow rate of progress made in 201415. One positive aspect was that the teachers were able to use work in books
as first hand evidence of real progress which was a great re-assurance for
these parents and a good preparation for any future inspection.
4. The Governors Visits template has been revised and adopted by the FGB to
enable governors to more fully support and evaluate the teaching and learning
taking place.

progress
Last Amended 06/03/2016
School Development Plan 2015-16
4. How might the context of the school affect our performance?
We need to be aware that in a large mixed age class we need to try and find
quality time to challenge our more able Year 2 pupils using either the teacher,
cover supervisor or another adult.
We need to remember that Miss Evans was an NQT last year which probably made
her less likely to take sensible “risks” in her classroom and more likely to focus on
behaviour management.
5. How does pupil attendance compare to the national average?
The cohort attendance was only 91.83% BUT this figure included two children who
are no longer with us, one with 27.2% attendance and one with 89.75%
attendance.
6. What were the strengths and weaknesses of our school?

3. Do we have any under-performing groups of pupils?
Pupil Premium (2 pupils)
Both pupils attained L4+ in reading and writing. One pupil attained Level 4+ in
maths. Both pupils made expected progress in reading and more than
expected progress in writing and one pupil made expected progress in maths
Gender (8 males,7 females)
In reading and writing, boys out-performed girls at L4B+ and girls outperformed boys at L5+. In Spelling and Grammar, girls out-performed boys at
L4B+ and L5+. In maths, boys performed girls at L4B+ and L5+
In reading, a higher percentage of girls made expected progress but a higher
percentage of boys made more than expected progress. In writing, boys and
girls were almost identical in both progress measures. In maths, the boys outperformed girls in both progress measures.
SEND (2 pupils)
In all four areas, one pupil attained Level 4+.
In reading, both pupils made expected progress. In writing, both made
expected progress with one making more than expected progress.in maths,
one pupil made expected progress.
Lower Attainer(1 pupil)
Our one pupil did not achieve L4+ in any area BUT made expected progress in
reading, writing and maths.
Middle Attainers (8 pupils)
In reading and writing, they all attained Level 4B+ and in Spelling and
Grammar and maths 75% attained Level 4B+.
In reading they all made at least expected progress with 38% making more
than expected progress, more than the L.A. average for this group. In writing
they all made at least expected progress with 63% making more than expected
progress, significantly higher than the L.A. average. In maths 75% made at
least expected progress with 38% making more than expected progress-higher
than the L.A. average.
Upper Attainers(5 pupils)
As a group, these pupils performed less well overall than the other groups
particularly in maths.
100% attained L4+ in all areas. In reading 80% made expected progress. 0%
made more than expected progress. In writing 100% made at least expected
progress with 80% making more than expected progress. In maths 60% made
expected progress (3 out of 5) with 20% making more than expected progress.
4. How might the context of the school affect our performance?
As a school with a very good reputation for being fully inclusive we devote a
lot of time, energy and resources towards our more vulnerable children. Even
Last Amended 06/03/2016
School Development Plan 2015-16
with our well established ability groups our more able pupils may still not get
the full challenge that they require.
As a very popular school with many parental preferences we have experienced
mixed age Key Stage 2 classes regularly of 30+ children. This has meant that
Year 6 have not had as rigorous a programme of preparation for national
assessments as children in other schools may have been offered. In 2015-16 we
have divided our Key Stage, 2 children into 3 smaller classes with Year 6 only
joined by a very small group of Year 5 pupils. This should enable us to support
Year 6 more as they prepare for national assessments in May 2016.
As a school committed to promoting locally based initial teacher training we
have engaged with the Dorset SCITT Partnership over many years in Upper Key
Stage 2 and this has meant a certain lack of consistency in teaching styles…
This will no longer be the case as the SCITT Partnership has sadly closed.
As a Gold Level Sports Mark School we are fully committed to promoting
healthy competition for all of our children. This has sometimes meant that
some of our children have missed lessons and we will do our best to ensure
that this is not the case whenever possible.
5. How does pupil attendance compare to the national average?
The Year 6 attendance for 2014-15 was 96.2% with only one pupil attending
less than 90% of the year’s sessions
6. What were the strengths and weaknesses of our school?
The strengths indicated in our FFTAspire Dashboard are our Female readers
and our Male writers.
The relative weaknesses indicated are our higher attainers in reading and
maths and our females in maths.
These indicators have led the Subject Leader to undertake a gender based
analysis of pupil’s feelings on mathematics generally which will form part of
the evidence base for our L.A. Subject Review.
