See below for the key focus areas for improvement for St Mary’s throughout 2021-22. Each term, the headteacher organises a Parent and Carer coffee morning to outline and discuss the progress made towards achieving what the school has set out to do.
The Quality of Education
Implement a well-planned and well-sequenced curriculum which allows children to know more and remember more so that they make at least good progress and achieve at least in line with age-related expectations.
Further improve the quality of education so that teachers and teaching assistant pedagogy impacts positively on the quality of teaching provided, enabling all children to thrive.
Implement bespoke interventions for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who need to catch up with missed learning, including EAL children.
Improve the quality of our Early Year’s offer by successfully implementing new national initiatives.
Behaviour & Attitudes/Personal Development
Improve attendance and punctuality so that it is at least in line with national average figures.
Further support and improve the mental health, personal development and well-being of children and staff.
Leadership and Management
