School Development Plan
A school development plan is written each year and makes clear how the Headfield team intend to drive the school forward in our journey to becoming an outstanding school. We are a strong, ambitious team who are striving to give the children of Savile Town and Thornhill Lees the best rounded education we possibly can, rich in experience and routed in literacy skills. We constantly evaluate the effectiveness of our school, celebrate the successes and identify what we need to focus on to ensure our children are given firm foundations to continue their next step in education when they leave us.
The focus areas of our school development plan this academic year are:
- To continue to raise standards and attainment for pupils in writing.
- Develop our assessment procedures across the curriculum.
- Further develop our church school Christian vision and ethos.
- Raise attendance so it is inline with national attendance at 96% and promote good attendance for all pupils.
- Further strengthen and increase parental engagement across school life.
- Continue and further develop our links within the local community empowering children to act as agents of change.
- Effectively integrate MyHappyMind which focuses on pupil personal development.
- Continue developing high-quality sensory play opportunities.
- Continue to develop staff new into highly effective leaders at all levels.
