All school set development priorities for the year. At St Mary’s Infants School these are our current development priorities which we are working on throughout the 2022 -2023 academic year.
- New subject leaders demonstrate effective leadership by ensuring the intent and implementation of the curriculum is having an impact on pupils knowing more and remembering more.
- To continue to improve attainment in reading and phonics through the Read Write Inc programme.
- To develop oracy within the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
- New Special Educational Needs (SEND) leader to ensure that SEND and Pupil Premium pupils are learning the intended curriculum.
- Ensure that the additional pastoral provision is having a positive impact on identified pupils’ outcomes.
- Improve pupil attendance
- The new team enable pupils’ behaviour to be exemplary, driven by bespoke personalised plans and consistent implementation.
- New Christian Distinctiveness leaders empower the community to take action within their strands to enable all pupils to flourish.
We also have a rigorous staff continuous development programme and work closely with advisors from Hertfs for Learning (HfL) around our English, Maths, SEND , EYFS and Assessment provision.
In addition we have a Hertfordshire Improvement Partner who quality assures the senior leadership team.
