We created a Parent Friendly version of our Improvement Plan.
School Improvement Priorities
Working with key stakeholders, we have our school improvement plan which guides us with our next steps.
Our Improvement Priorities 2021-2022
Raising Attainment
- Key focus on providing learners with the Excellent Learning Experience through the implementation of Active Literacy and Numeracy. Embedding our planning, assessments and tracking.
- Development of outdoor spaces with opportunities for our young people to participate in interesting and motivating outdoor learning experiences.
Ensuring the health and wellbeing of all young people
- Working with Barnardo’s Scotland in delivering a Health and Wellbeing Being programme known as PATHS. Our young people will be able to use PATHS strategies to identify and manage their emotions, resolve issues and be more able to self-regulate effectively.
- Implement a Neurosequential Model in Education (NME) which is a classroom based approach to support children and school staff to learn more about brain development and the impact of developmental trauma on a child’s ability to learn.
Closing the poverty-related attainment gap
- Achievement as a key focus – personal successes will be recognised and celebrated effectively.
- Increase in pupil participation. Children will use self-evaluation and feedback to identify the next steps.
Increase in sustained positive destinations and employability skills
- Develop digital literacy with all pupils and families introducing Learning Journals in the Early Years.
- Successfully awarded a ‘Food for Thought’ grant – The creation of ‘Our Cooking Coop’ will allow opportunities for deeper, meaningful food education across the whole school & wider community.
