Priority 2 - Raising Attainment

"The highest quality of education for every child, every day."

All teachers and practitioners across the federation are confident as to what high quality teaching and learning looks like. They are enabled to teach consistently in this way in order to raise attainment. Children thrive as successful, independent learners. Our teaching is research-informed and developed through reflective practice and targeted CPD. Oracy and literacy are at the heart of what we do to ensure all children can access learning and can take advantage of future learning opportunities. Every child is known well. Meaningful, timely interventions with adults support children to feel successful, build confidence and close gaps.

Children take on responsibilities and leadership within the Federation which encourages pride in their schools and community. Parents are supportive of the federation behaviour expectations and uphold them. 

Priority 4 - SEND

High quality, adapted teaching in a positive and supportive environment is our first step in responding to children who have, or may have, SEND.

Staff are well trained and confident in knowing how to meet the needs of all children, they feel well supported in this role. Support staff are effectively deployed. Teachers are fully accountable for the assessment and progress of all children in their care, without exception. Parents are included as the 'first educators' of their child and involved in decision making and review. Communication is strong. Record keeping is relevant and robust.
