Strategic Challenges

Strategic Priorities

Ensuring the attainment gap between disadvantaged children and non-disadvantaged children reduces and doesn’t widen.

Review and develop high quality provision for Disadvantaged Children with an emphasis on targeted interactions, assessment and feedback throughout curriculum delivery and personal development opportunities.

Many children start our schools with limited speech and language skills. This can have a detrimental effect on pupils’ understanding and engagement in their learning.

Positioning Oracy at the heart of our teaching, especially in the Early Years.  Building on our practice, with research findings, for a more structured approach for adult and child conversations.

Children’s comprehension skills can be significantly hindered by weak reading fluency because their concentration is on decoding the words and not always reading for meaning.

Reading fluency. The schools will work together on lesson structures and sequences of lessons to ensure reading fluency opportunities and progress measures. 

Although some pupils can write with quantity, the quality is hindered by a lack of coherency within sentences – as though the ideas cannot be written fast enough. 

Writing fluency. The schools will create a handwriting strategy that builds fluency as well as letter formation. 

Continuing financial constraints and rising costs.

The Federation will review business practices and contracts to further increase financial efficiencies. 

Continually improving our pupil attendance data

Ensuring we are doing all we can to ensure our pupils do not miss learning.
