We often mention the "Federation Improvement Plan", and you may wonder what it is. 

 

School improvement planning is a strategy schools undertake to ensure they achieve their core purpose. This includes improving learning and teaching by modifying classroom practices and management procedures.

Our strategic Plan (which takes us from 2023 to 2027) will build on our recent, strong OFSTED outcomes and focus on the key improvement priorities to ensure we are 'Outstanding' when the inspectors return.

 

Some elements of school improvement planning, such as performance management, are statutory for maintained schools, others, such as self-evaluation, are essential best practice.

We will regularly update you on specific achievements and progress via your bi-weekly newsletters. You can also find, further down this page, some of the more recent news about  the Federation Improvement activities.

If you have any questions, feedback or suggestions, then please get in touch.
