Staff meetings, in the current school year, to review the SDP have been planned into the school calendar:

Tuesday 13th November 2018 @ 3.30pm to review past SDP and set new targets based on evidence. SDP given to all staff once completed and agreed by Governors in January 2019

Tuesday 15th January 2019 @ 3.15pm to monitor. Tuesday 5th March 2019 @ 3.15pm to monitor. Tuesday 23rd April 2019 @ 3.15pm to monitor. Tuesday 2nd July 2019 @ 3.15pm to monitor.

Dates for September 2019 - December 2019 will be set in the new academic year.

SDP reviewed at each Full Governors Meeting. This is recorded in the minutes.

Priorities have been developed with all stakeholders of the school following review of the previous SDP, questionnaires, pupil voice, data analysis, current school systems and the educational climate. The SDP will be reviewed half termly at full governors meetings and

during staff meetings with all members of staff. The SDP will be shared with parents through a letter and the school website and with pupils through the RRS Ambassadors, School Parliament and Eco Warriors. Regular progress will be reported via the parent

council and parental communication.

Priority One: To develop extended writing through theme and ensure high

expectations match that of English teaching.

Success Criteria:

Writing across the curriculum is planned for and delivered effectively & marking is

used consistently to move learning forward.

Writing data analysis shows that there is no drop off between year groups and

progress is at least maintained or better. Any potential drop off is quickly identified

and support is put in place.

Attainment at the end of EYFS, KS1 and Year 4 is at least in line with or better than

national/Dorset averages.

Year One phonics data continues to be in line or above national.

Pupils are engaged and motivated to write across the curriculum.

Writing across the curriculum is of a high standard and reflects practice presented in

English.

Pupils are motivated and given the opportunity to challenge themselves through the

use of Must/Should/Could objectives in theme work.

Subject Leaders will have clear understanding of the coverage and progression of

skills and knowledge taught in their subject across each year group.

Children will have access to a first class curriculum that provides broad opportunity

for challenge, enrichment and preparation for life in modern Britain.

RRS

Article 12: Children have the right to say

what they think should happen, when

adults are making decisions that affect

them, and to have their opinions taken

into account.

Article 28: Children have a right to an

education.

Article 29: Education should develop

each child’s personality and talents to the

full.

Article 42: The Government should make

the convention known to parents &

children.

Ofsted

Teachers embed reading, writing and

communication and, where appropriate,

mathematics exceptionally well across the

curriculum, equipping all pupils with the

necessary skills to make progress. For

younger children in particular, phonics

teaching is highly effective in enabling

them to tackle unfamiliar words.

Throughout each year group and across

the curriculum, including in English and

mathematics, current pupils make

substantial and sustained progress,

developing excellent knowledge,

understanding and skills, considering

their different starting points.

The progress across the curriculum of

disadvantaged pupils and pupils who have

special educational needs and/or

disabilities currently on roll matches or is

improving towards that of other pupils

with the same starting points.

Teachers provide pupils with incisive

feedback, in line with the school’s

assessment policy, about what pupils can

do to improve their knowledge,

understanding and skills. The pupils use

this feedback effectively.
