The level of achievement and progress of more able learners

Progress on Key Issues

In order to improve standards and make progress on these key issues, the school has:

• Delivered CPD and INSET on developing writing; which has increased the proportion of pupils achieving greater depth in this subject Ensured that more able learners are a key group in the school and that those at risk of not making expected progress receive additional support; Introduced focused group sessions for more able learners – STEM; Introduced a more consistent and rigorous approach to subject leadership and trained leaders; Ensured that middle leaders report regularly to Governors and that Governors challenge leaders on key
