In 2018/19 session our 4 priorities are

 to continue to improve learning and
teaching in order to raise
attainment,
 develop effective approached to
promoting positive health and
wellbeing,
 improve family learning and parental
engagement, and
 further develop approaches to
moderation to ensure that teacher
professional judgement of
Curriculum for Excellence levels are
robust

A sketch note of our school improvement plan will be available very soon on our school website. Paper copies of the full plan will also be available from the school office in the new session.

Our Pupil Equity Fund for 2018/19 is £77760. A
proportion of this is allocated for HR and finance which is centrally resourced within Clackmannanshire Council.

We continue to fund our additional learning assistants. We
will also fund Mrs Stevenson to work an additional 2.5 days a week to allow Mrs Kelly (PT) and Mr Patterson (PT) additional non class contact time to lead school improvement, Growth Mindset work with Sonia Grant, Wellbeing Scotland counselling service and family
learning/parental engagement.

As family learning and parental engagement is one of our priorities we’d like to invite parents/carers to meet with Mrs Bernard
at 9am on 7 June or 2pm on 13 June to listen to your ideas about how you’d like to hear about your child’s learning, family learning opportunities that you’d like to see  in school and how you’d like to be moreinvolved.

If you’d like to attend either session please email the school at
deerpark@edu.clacks.co.uk or call the school on 01259 452218 for catering purposes. Each session will take no longer than one hour. Alternatively, if you are unable to attend but would like to share
your views you can complete a short online survey which will be sent out via Class Dojo school story and Groupcall Messenger over
the next week or so.
