Rudston Primary School

School Development and Improvement Plan

2017/2018

DREAM, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE

The School Development Plan enables the school’s vision to be shared and understood by the whole school community. Our aim is to work and learn together as a community in order to improve and be the best that we can be. The School Development Plan should give everyone an understanding of where the school is going and what actions will be taken to ensure we get there. We set clear timescales for implementation and determine how to effectively use both human and material resources to support specific goals. It also helps us plan and prioritise our budget and guides how we plan and organise staff training. The School Development Plan is designed to give a sharp, clear focus to those aspects of our work which we believe are most in need of improvement.

Everyone has the chance to contribute ideas as to how our school can improve. Staff, our LSIP and Governors meet termly to review how successful our improvements have been and agree priorities for the coming year. We ask parents, staff and children to share their ideas through questionnaires and the school council. We want everyone to support us and help us improve and this can only happen if we are all involved. We are constantly reviewing everything we do at Rudston Primary School based on assessments, observations, feedback from all stakeholders and most importantly the needs of all children in school. These reviews help us to inform our School Improvement plan. In addition we seek to implement new national and local initiatives. School Improvements are implemented in various ways including revised curriculum delivery, events, training, schemes and resources, focused initiatives and through partnership with colleagues.

There are four key priorities for the plan. We wish to achieve each target as fully as possible; therefore they will drive our training, resources, teaching and learning, monitoring, evaluation and review over the next year.

Professional development INSET days are an important part of this process. This academic year they will be taken as 10 identified twilights and tailored to staff group needs. In addition to this, all staff are keen to keep up to date with new initiatives. Therefore, individual teachers and support staff have undertaken and will undertake training throughout the year in order to further their own professional development and to strengthen the subject expertise on the staff. This includes collaborative work with local and regional schools.

Phase Leaders and Subject Leaders develop their own Subject Leader Plan which identifies key areas for development within their own curriculum area for the academic year. The subject lead plans form the ‘Curriculum Improvement Plan’ and the Phase plans are developed throughout the year following monitoring , evaluating and analysis on a regular basis to set milestone targets and desirable outcomes.

School Context

This is a larger than average Primary school (NOR 415) with a PVI Nursery –Bright Stars and Children Centre on site. The school serves an area of low levels of deprivation (0.1) compared with national (0.2) and low FSM entitlement (17.5%) compared with national (25.8). The number of pupils on roll has increased following amalgamation in January 2012 to 415 pupils and have been oversubscribed for admissions into Reception in the last 3 years. We were 2nd in Liverpool out of over 100 schools for ratio of applications per place (2.9). Our data for Ethnicity indicates 9.5% of our children belong to minority ethnic groups which is lower than the national average(31.1). A proportion of pupils have barriers to learning and additional needs (12.1%) which is slightly above national averages (11.9%). We have less than national SEN with a statement or EHC plan 0.2% compared with 1.4% national. The school’s leadership team includes the HT, DH, and 3 assistant heads. The 3 AH have a responsibility as Phase Leaders (Early Years Phase, Middle Phase and Upper Phase).In September 2017 we appointed a new DHT and AT (Early Years Phase). We have 4 TLR post holders for 2017/2018 focused upon SEN, Reading, Wider Curriculum (inc British values, PSMC and RSE) and Active school and Apprentice Co coordinator. The SEN TRL is currently undertaking the National SENCO Qualification and AHT is undertaking NPQSL. PPA and additional time is covered by specialist teachers in Art, MFL (Spanish) and PE and Science. The Chair and Vice Chair of Governors is experienced and has worked with Rudston for many years. There has been some changes to the Governing body in September 2017. All contribute on a daily basis consistently as advisors or volunteering within the school.

The Learning Challenge Curriculum is in place at Rudston and the Communication Friendly Spaces philosophy has been rolled out across school. The school has had to address maintaining raising standards and progress expectations over the three years and has been effective in achieving this through a range of initiatives and approaches. Our provision now needs to support improved outcomes for our disadvantaged children and more able children. We need to improve progress from EOKS1 to EOKS 2 from in line with national to above. Outcomes for Reading at the end of KS 2 needs addressing to ensure we are above National .Performance Management, staff development, coaching and mentoring have been instrumental in ensuring staff progress and professionally develop further to ensure consistent approaches across the sites and key stages. We will continue to use PM to drive the quality of teaching, learning and assessment.

Rudston was judged as ‘Good’ in all areas by Ofsted Jan 2014. We are driving towards being ‘Outstanding’. Since Ofsted (Jan 2014) all school stakeholders have continued to commit to the developed mission -DREAM, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE and values – Respect, Resilience, Enjoyment, Challenge and Responsibility. Standards in all areas have risen across school now being above national in EYFS Good Levels of development (81.4% 2017 compared with national 70.7% 2017), Phonics Screening at Year 1 (84% compared with 81% Nationally) ,EOKS 1 ARE Reading, Writing and Maths have fallen slightly from 2016, Reading is in line with Naational (71%) however writing and maths have fallen below National. EOKS 2 ARE isin line in reading and above in Writing, Maths and EGPS. The number of children at ARE in each class has risen in 2017 compared with 2013 ,2014 & 2015. We need to maintain standards across KS2 and to focus on improving levels of GD for MA pupils. At KS1 we need to improve standards to ensure we are above National in RWM. Feedback and marking policies needs evaluating to ensure consistently and impact on improving outcomes for children. Co coaching methods will be employed to enable staff to share good practice and target setting needs to demonstrate high expectations of all pupils. The Phase Leaders will need to lead their phase, identifying with staff the areas of focus and interventions and strategies necessary termly in response to the SDP. Our use of O Track has ensured effective assessment of Reading, Writing and Maths and during 2017/18 this will be extended to ensure robust assessment of Foundation Subjects through delivery of Learning Challenge Curriculum, this is crucial to maintaining good provision moving toward outstanding. Having implemented and summarised data sets in line with the new assessment system, a programme of standardisation and moderation will continue throughout 2017/ 2018 with a network of local schools for comparable standards for each year group and a local group of 3 context comparable schools . Rudston remains in partnership with Hope University and is now a Lead Partner with LJMU as well as being a key member of the G10 local schools network. We contribute to and access support from the Liverpool Learning Partnership. Many staff have delivered specialist lectures and workshops for local Universities. The newly appointed Head teacher will work closely with HT mentor, LSIP and network groups as well participating in a Peer Review project with 2 local schools.SLT and Phases have had meetings through the year to look at Ofsted guidance and make judgements with evidence of where we lie and what we need to do further to improve. This has informed the 2017/18 SDP alongside the School Self Evaluation September 2017.

Review marking across school as a team and ensure it is consistently applied in LCC books to address literacy errors

Undertake a pupil consultation to establish impact Update a developed policy with clear strategies Support and co coach staff as necessary to mark consistently Review and guide for procedures to be in place to help learners

know exactly what they need to achieve Staff meeting to make sure there is conclusive evidence of pupils

demonstrating sufficient gains in knowledge, skills and understanding. Book scrutinises in phases and cross phases

Collate evidence of pupils’ understanding being checked and adjustments made from lesson to lesson

Collate evidence of work linked directly to year group expectations in standards files and through book scrutinies.

Check for evidence of high expectations and learning being challenging enough by MLT and SLT each ½ term in each subject.

Collect samples of excellent modelling that is gained through a systematic and sequential lesson

Provide parents with information about feedback and marking through parent meetings – Nov 2016 and March 2017

Undertake case studies in each phase about impact of feedback and assessment on pupil progress – AM

Monitoring of marking shows all teachers follow marking policy consistently in all subjects.Book scrutiny shows that children’s work is well presented, progress is clear, targets are evident that help move every child on. Chn can talk about the impact of marking that has helped them progress. There is a range of activities through each year group challenging the children and their use of vocabulary is developing well. Work is clearly linked to year group expectations and different genres of text being used to meet the needs of the curriculum.

2017/2018 BEST VALUE STATEMENT

IntroductionThe governing body is accountable for the way in which the school’s resources are allocated to meet the objectives set out in the school's development plans. Governors need to secure the best possible outcome for pupils, in the most efficient and effective way, at a reasonable cost. This will lead to continuous improvement in the school's achievements and services

What Is Best Value?Governors will apply the four principles of best value: Challenge - Is the school’s performance high enough? Why and how is a service provided? Do we still need it? Can it be delivered differently? What do

parents want? Compare - How does the school’s pupil performance and financial performance compare with all schools? How does it compare with LEA schools? How

does it compare with similar schools? Consult - How does the school seek the views of stakeholders about the services the school provides? Compete - How does the school secure efficient and effective services? Are services of appropriate quality, economic?

The Governors’ Approach

The Governors and school managers will apply the principles of best value when making decisions about: the allocation of resources to best promote the aims and values of the school. the targeting of resources to best improve standards and the quality of provision. the use of resources to best support the various educational needs of all pupils.

Governors, and the school managers, will: make comparisons with other/similar schools using data provided by the LA and the Government, e.g. RAISE, quality of teaching & learning, levels of

expenditure challenge proposals, examining them for effectiveness, efficiency, and cost, e.g. setting of annual pupil achievement targets require suppliers to compete on grounds of cost, and quality/suitability of services/products/backup, e.g. provision of computer suite, redecoration consult individuals and organisations on quality/suitability of service we provide to parents and pupils, and services we receive from providers, e.g. Sex

and Relationships Education, pupil reports, assigned inspector, OFSTED, maintenance consultant, borough Energy Group

This will apply in particular to: staffing use of premises use of resources quality of teaching quality of learning

purchasing pupils’ welfare health and safety

Governors and school managers: will not waste time and resources on investigating minor areas where few improvements can be achieved will not waste time and resources to make minor savings in costs will not waste time and resources by seeking tenders for minor supplies and services

The pursuit of minor improvements or savings is not cost effective if the administration involves substantial time or costs. Time wasted on minor improvements or savings can also distract management from more important or valuable areas.

StaffingGovernors and school managers will deploy staff to provide best value in terms of quality of teaching, quality of learning, adult-pupil ratio, and curriculum management.Use of PremisesGovernors and school managers will consider the allocation and use of teaching areas, support areas and communal areas, to provide the best environment for teaching & learning, for support services, and for communal access to central resources, e.g. the library, children’s centre and Bright Stars integrated approach Use of ResourcesGovernors and school managers will deploy equipment, materials and services to provide pupils and staff with resources which support quality of teaching and quality of learning.

TeachingGovernors and school managers will review the quality of curriculum provision and quality of teaching, to provide parents and pupils with:

a curriculum which meets the requirements of the National Curriculum, , The Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, the LA Agreed RE Syllabus, and the needs of pupils

teaching which builds on previous learning and has high expectations of all children’s achievement and progress LearningGovernors and school managers will review the quality of children’s learning, by cohort, class and group, to provide teaching which enables children to achieve nationally expected progress, e.g. setting of annual pupil achievement targetsPurchasingGovernors and school managers will develop procedures for assessing need, and obtaining goods and services which provide “best value” in terms of suitability, efficiency, time, and cost. Measures already in place include: procedures for accepting “best value” quotes, which are not necessarily the cheapest (e.g. suitability for purpose and quality of workmanship) procedures which minimise office time by the purchase of goods or services under £1000 direct from known, reliable suppliers (e.g. stationery, small

equipment)

Pupils’ WelfareGovernors and school managers will review the quality of the school environment and the school ethos, in order to provide a supportive environment conducive to learning and recreation.Health & SafetyGovernors and school managers will review the quality of the school environment and equipment, carrying out risk assessments where appropriate, in order to provide a safe working environment for pupils, staff and visitors.

MonitoringThese areas will be monitored for best value by:1. In-house monitoring by the Headteacher, School Business Manager , SLT, governors and curriculum managers, e.g. classroom practice, work sampling2. Annual Performance Management & Appraisals3. Risk Management and Continuity planning4. Annual Budget Planning5. Analysis’s of school pupil performance data, e.g. SATs results, standardised test results, results against all schools, LA schools, similar schools6. Analysis’s of LA pupil performance data7.

PREMISES DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2017/18

A school’s premises, including its land and buildings, are a valuable asset and require careful management.Key benefits of managing the school’s premises, land and buildings, fall into four main categories:

Financial – inappropriately designed (e.g. not fit for purpose) or poorly maintained buildings (e.g. which may need to be replaced) can become a substantial drain on resources.

Educational – the school needs to have the right physical resources (e.g. appropriate storage furniture, classroom furniture ppropriate to age of pupils) to ensure that its curriculum meets the diverse needs of its pupils (including pupils with special educational needs).

Motivational – the condition of the premises and the way the buildings are used can affect the motivation and effectiveness of the pupils and staff who work in them.

Image – where there is competition for resources (pupils, staff sponsorship etc.), the condition of the school can be a factor in attracting pupils and staff.The objective of this Premises Plan is to outline how we plan to maintain or improve the accommodation and grounds to provide a suitable, stimulating, healthy and safe environment for learning. In doing this we will take account of:Maintaining the current premises so that they are fit for purpose.

Maintenance requirements. Quality and fitness for purpose. Health and safety issues resulting from risk assessments.

Making the best use of the premises. Utilisation of current space. Comparison with space standards.

Planning necessary changes/improvements to the premises. Current and future initiatives in the School Development Plan. Future numbers of pupils and staff required. Curriculum developments. Teaching and learning strategies.

NOTE: In planning premises changes/improvements it is necessary to consider the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) which imposes a duty to make reasonable adjustments if the premises substantially disadvantage a disabled person compared with a non-disabled person. Examples of adjustments might be the installation of a ramp for a wheelchair, a lift for access to the upper floor area.
