School Improvement

St Michaels' is an improving school and our ambition is for it to be a place where children thrive and love learning.

We have listed a summary of our school improvement aims.

Leadership and Management

All leaders use a range of evidence (e.g. learning walks, scrutiny of pupils’ work, talking to pupils) to evaluate learning and establish priority actions in English and math’s.
To further improve the Tri-School on collaborative and planned discussion.

Teaching, Learning and Assessment

To ensure all teaching and learning across the school is good to great.

To implement an engaging and varied curriculum promoting positive learning behaviours across the school.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare
