2026/27 School Improvement Key Priorities

1. To improve outcomes at the end of Key Stage 1 so that attainment in reading, writing and mathematics is at least in line with national expectations, while increasing the proportion of pupils achieving greater depth.

2. To improve attendance for disadvantaged pupils by reducing persistent and unauthorised absence and narrowing the attendance gap with their peers, through early identification and targeted support that addresses individual barriers, including those associated with SEND and pupil mobility.

3. To extend and securely implement the diocesan-approved Lighting the Path Religious Education scheme, aligned with the Religious Education Directory (RED), through a coherent two-year curriculum cycle that addresses pupils’ prior knowledge, strengthens scripture and hermeneutics, and supports consistently high-quality, creative teaching and learning across all year groups.
