LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT

Self-evaluated as Good because: Next steps:

There is a culture of respect and tolerance for each other. This is demonstrated through:

Our school vision is child focused we want all pupils to – Aim High, Persevere and Succeed Together.

We set high and ambitious standards for quality and performance. There is a clear moral purpose and a

passionate, shared belief that the school can impact on the life chances of the pupils. As a consequence

the capacity for improvement is outstanding.

Clear policies are in place and regularly reviewed/updated as necessary.

Non negotiables are shared with the staff at the beginning of each school and revisited/refined as an

ongoing process and focus on improvement.

Views of staff, parents and pupils all feed into the SEF/SIDP.

All staff at Astley work together as a team modelling high expectations and mutual respect. The staff

supports each other in sharing good practice.

Parent and pupil perception surveys (analysis available) are regularly sought and information is collated

and where relevant, acted upon.

The school values its relationship with Parents and Carers and recognises that they have a vital role to

play in their children’s education. Parents and Carers are regularly encouraged to come into school.

Members of the leadership team regularly attend ‘The Friends’ meetings supporting this group to

organise fun and exciting activities for children, parents and local community as well as raise funds which

link with school priorities.

SLT and subject leaders have non-contact time to plan, monitor and refine actions to improve all key

aspects of the schools work.

EYFS/KS One Lead and KS Two Lead appointed September 2016.

SLT including the Chair of Governors meet weekly to ensure each member has a current understanding

of the actions and impact.

Most teachers have subject leadership responsibility and monitor their subject accordingly. Maths and

English are reported to Governors annually. Other subjects are reported to Governors on a rolling

programme. Read, Write Inc progress is reported each half term.

Pupil Progress Meetings are regular and thorough which link to Appraisals. All children, including our

vulnerable groups are tracked and actions/interventions agreed and expectations set.

Pupil Asset is used effectively and efficiently to analyse and identify areas for improvement.

All data is analysed and this is reported to Governors.

Benchmarking for all cohorts is in place.

SLT monitor Pupil Asset.

Two NQT have been appointed this year along with one maternity cover.

We have an Appraisal system in place for all staff which is led by the SLT. Staff are given opportunities

To implement the new 2015 – 2016 SIDP:

Develop Middle Leadership roles. Embed KS2 lead role and train KS1 lead role.

Deputy Head teacher on maternity leave so develop role of SENCo as temporary lead.

To raise the outcomes for disadvantaged pupils and vulnerable groups.

Governors are in working groups linked to key areas of the SIDP to ensure all aspects can be challenged.

Page 3: Astley Primary School - Self-Evaluation Statement 2016 ... · Astley Primary School - Self-Evaluation Statement 2016 - 2017. School name Astley Primary School School type Community

to improve their CPD through in school opportunities and courses. This is cascaded to the relevant staff

at teacher meetings. All CPD links to appraisals and the SIDP.

Teachers’ performance is monitored against the Teachers’ Standards and the progress of their class is

used to determine their progression up the pay scale.

The Monitoring and Evaluation Cycle is crucial and triangulated regularly by all members of the SLT.

Staff Development on Numicon, RWInc phonics, Literacy and Language, SEN update, Real PE and

specific CPD is organised to improve individual and whole school practice.

Weekly masterclasses for Teaching Assistants focusing on key teaching actions.

Termly RWI development days.

We have actively sought out and implemented a number of schemes in recent years to improve standards (e.g. RWInc and Literacy and Language to develop Standards in reading and writing. Numicon, Tackling Tables to develop standards in maths).

Governors monitor progress against the SIDP.

Governor minutes demonstrate that the Governing Board provide challenge and holds senior leaders to

account.

Governors play an effective strategic role and take a keen interest in the school. A record of Governor

visits can be seen in the school office.

There are half termly full Governing body meetings

A Pupil Premium/Sport Premium Governor monitors how the funding is spent.

Delegated duties are assigned to sub-committees to enable skills and expertise to be used effectively. Governors monitor budget spending and have a clear view of spending priorities, including building

improvements. Specific Governors attend Budget review meetings with the County Finance Officer and the Headteacher.

Subject leaders review their subject policies regularly and are given time to ensure that the National Curriculum objectives are covered within the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). The SLT oversees the implementation of the IPC including Assessment on Pupil Asset.

All staff are aware of how British Values and SMSC can be promoted within all subjects.

British Values are promoted within the school and across the curriculum. Children are given opportunities to engage in positive discussion about the diversity of our country and local community. The children’s thoughts and ideas are displayed centrally in the main school building each week.

Within our school, pupils are actively encouraged to make choices, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment.

Whether it is through a choice of learning challenge, of how they record, or participation in our numerous extra-curricular clubs and opportunities, pupils are given the freedom to make choices.

Year 6 carry out additional duties to support the younger children demonstrating responsibility. Our House Team system promotes Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural.

High standards of Safeguarding across the school including thorough checks on staff and volunteers.

Safeguarding procedures regularly monitored by the named governor.

All staff are aware of the designated lead for child protection and make referrals when required (see CPD

files).

All staff and some volunteers have received the PREVENT training. Staff are vigilant and regularly

encourage debates around a wide range of issues.

We have a thorough signing in procedure for all visitors on the school site.

TEACHING, LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT

Self-evaluated as Good because: Next steps:

Teaching Teaching is good with some lessons judged as outstanding – the whole school community have high

expectations. Our last round of monitoring indicated that all teaching was at least good and a growing proportion was outstanding.

Teachers make use of excellent tracking and assessment systems that allow them to pinpoint what the children need to do next to move their learning on.

Clear benchmarks are in place for each year group and pupil progress meetings happen each half term where senior leaders deconstruct data with class teachers and each child is tracked with actions implemented.

Additional support is put in place when and where necessary e.g. intervention strategies, SEN support, Nurture groups, 1:1 teaching.

During lesson observations it is evident that teaching challenges pupils to think through questions for themselves by working collaboratively.

Our focus is to promote high quality independent learning skills within every classroom. There are displays in every classroom promoting these.

The introduction of RWI has improved standards in phonics, resulting in national phonics screening results above national average for the last 3 years.(2013 -2014, 2014 – 2015, 2015-2016)

In maths we have implemented the use of concrete resources (Numicon, Base 10 etc) to raise standards in maths. The maths subject leader has introduced daily multiplication facts through the Tackling Tables programme to raise children’s rapid recall.

The use of technology (iPads, Apple TV) has improved the quality of discussion around children’s work and has assisted peer assessment.

All learners are engaged and participate actively through our ‘no hands up’ policy with the focus being on partner talk.

Nurture, socially speaking and mentoring groups are established that focus on developing social skills. We value the extra - curricular learning activities including off site visits, residential and clubs creating

memorable and engaging learning for our children. The children receive many opportunities to enhance their learning and develop their key skills through:

focus weeks (active week, anti - bullying week) or days (e- safety, world book day, European Day of Languages (afternoon).

Assessment Rigorous procedures are in place to track children’s attainment and progress. The school uses Pupil Asset and all teachers input tracking data which is analysed during pupil progress meetings half termly. Data is shared with all teachers. Intervention groups are run by the Class Teacher. The progress and effectiveness of these groups are closely monitored and tracked during half termly pupil progress meetings.

To develop children’s understanding of their key targets and next step in Maths and English through use of target book marks. Embedding reading, writing and mathematics across the curriculum. Develop parents/carers knowledge and understanding of our curriculum, teaching methods, assessment and up to date knowledge of their children’s achievement through a variety of tools including Tapestry (FS) and Seesaw (KS1 and 2). To develop children’s understanding of people and communities beyond their immediate experiences. To develop in school moderation following the examples of moderation by County for Years 2 and 6. Facilitate Teachers to effectively use assessment tracking system to engage with their own benchmarking. To develop and embed the use of Pupil Asset as an assessment tool. Use this to facilitate awareness and discussion of vulnerable groups, improving outcomes for all pupils.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, BEHAVIOUR AND WELFARE

Self-evaluated as Good because: Next steps:

The safety and learning of everyone in our school is given the highest priority by the Headteacher, Leadership Team, Governing Body and all staff.

The school is very successful in ensuring that pupils feel safe and that they have a good understanding of issues relating to safety.

Internet access procedures are in place to ensure that pupils and staff are safe. At Astley we understand the responsibility to educate our pupils on e-safety issues: teaching them the

appropriate behaviours and critical thinking skills to enable them to keep both safe and legal when using the internet and related technologies. This includes cyber-bullying and e-safety day.

School Council and Eco-Council meet weekly to discuss issues within the school and meet with the Headteacher when they wish to discuss issues or raise development points.

Year 6 attends a ‘Crucial Crew’ event each year and the school takes part in the annual ‘Anti-Bullying Week’.

The Senior Leadership team undertake regular Pupil Perception interviews to consider pupil’s responses and understanding of a variety of topics e.g. safety and behaviour in school.

Year 5 undertake a ‘Bikeability’ cycling course and Foundation Stage and year 1 take part in a ‘Step On’ Road Safety course.

The school encourages pupils to walk, cycle or scooter to school, particularly during our annual ‘Active Week’.

Our established House team system embeds a sense of belonging and collective responsibility amongst our children. This is evident through our House point system and team events e.g. gardening, music, various sports and general knowledge quiz.

We have an effective behaviour policy which includes our ‘HALT’ room, evidence of impact shows that only 9.4% of pupils were required to attend the HALT room 2015 -2016. Autumn Term 2015 10 children attended the HALT room. Autumn Term 2016 2 children have attended.

Positive behaviours are rewarded through weekly certificates and exceptional behaviour/work is sent to the SLT.

Attendance levels are showing an upward trend 95% (2013-2014), 95.15% (2014-2015) and 95.85% (2015-2016)

There was one permanent exclusion (March 2015) which was exceptional, coming at the end of a long process of support (evidence available). There has been no exclusion at any time since.

To embed the E-Safety policy, recognising the steps needed to keep themselves safe online. To embed the Travel Plan aimed at promoting and encouraging parents and pupils to walk, cycle or scooter to school across the year and promote the benefits of active travel for young people. To embed the ‘Thought for the Week’ quote and British Values question. To embed the use of pupil targets for Maths and English and the use of Marking Rubrics for Literacy and Language.

Year 6 See data above

EARLY YEARS PROVISION: QUALITY AND STANDARDS

Self-evaluated as Good because: Next steps:

The introduction of the online Tapestry tool has provided a valuable link between school and home. Safeguarding and Child Protection policies and procedures are implemented consistently; practice is

reviewed regularly and evaluated. Home visits and close on entry assessment provide a solid base. Early Excellence has been used for

Baseline assessment this year. The Early Years Foundation Stage classes are covered, this school year, by 3 experienced teachers who

have taught other year groups. As such they are clear about the next stages in the children’s education. The Early Years Foundation Stage Teachers meet with EYFS teachers from across the Cluster at least

termly. The Early Years Foundation Stage teachers meet with EYFS teachers from across the cluster in the

summer term to moderate work. Parents receive a half termly ‘Big Picture’ plan to inform them of what their child will be learning and this

includes home learning activities to be completed in line with the classroom learning. Pupil Asset is used to track and assess Pupil Progress. 71% of children at the end of Foundation Stage achieve a good level of development this is 2% above

national (2015-2016).

To embed opportunities for children to build their understanding of diversity beyond their immediate experience. To develop in school moderation for EYFS and to embed a smooth transition into year 1. To embed early mark making opportunities in EYFS. To develop the role of the two EYFS Teachers and Teaching Assistants.
