| Areas for development | School response |
|
Inconsistency in job share expectations e.g. behaviour |
Embedding of the positive behaviour policy should hopefully ensure this doesn’t happen |
|
Wanting to know KS1 SATs results |
This is shared with parents should they ask for it. Something to think about including on the report next year |
|
Too much homework in Reception |
Streamlined homework across the school |
|
SEN- anxiety about next year Better communication among teachers regarding transition to new classes |
Transition is an area we will be looking at in detail when it gets to the summer term. No |
|
Anxiety about changes in routine, getting things wrong Anxiety about coming to school |
Work in PSHCE and assemblies linked to mental health and knowing how to cope and deal with feeling anxious |
|
Homework traumatic! |
Shared expectations with both parents and children re homework expectations not just for SEN pupils, but all. |

|
Observations at lunch and break could be improved |
Governors are including this area in their walk once a year on each site |
|
Procedures for contacting teacher with problems Lack of regular homework Home reading books too easy |
Clear guidelines shared at the ‘Welcome to’ meetings at the beginning of the year linked to contacting teachers, homework and reading that is consistent across the school. |
|
Lack of listening to children’s views at a whole school level |
Each class has a school council representative who takes the views of children to regular school council meetings chaired by a teacher. These views are listened to, responded to and reported to Senior Leadership - should the need matter need to be addressed further. |
|
Would like to see children’s work more than twice a year at parent’s evening. |
Parents are invited in for special sharing afternoons |
|
Art should be more about self-expressing rather than copying existing artwork |
There is a curriculum spotlight on all foundation subjects this year. |
