School Improvement

St Michael's  is an improving school and our ambition is for it to be a place where all children thrive and love learning. We have listed below a summary of our school improvement priorities.

Priorities 2024 - 2025

• Ensure that adaptive teaching strategies as well as the Inclusion Charter, are consistently implemented across all classrooms to support diverse learning needs.
• Deepen the integration of professional expectations of all teachers by focusing on specific "WalkThru" strategies to enhance teaching effectiveness and pupil outcomes.
• Strengthen leadership skills at all levels, particularly for Early Career Teachers (ECTs) and those in their first year post-ECT, to foster a robust and capable team.
• Enhance the curriculum in Physical Education (PE), History, and Art by focusing on progression, sequencing, and deepening teachers’ understanding of both disciplinary and substantive knowledge.
