At Petersburn Primary School we aspire to be a learning community capable of continuous improvement, renowned for the excellent quality of learning and teaching, care and welfare and support that we provide to maximise pupil achievement. The school has an improvement plan which is used to identify areas for school initiatives and improvement priorities. The Improvement Plan, is reviewed annually.

The proposed priorities for 2018 – 2019 are as follows:-

• To improve attainment in Reading for all learners through effective learning and teaching and detailed monitoring of learners’ progress at each stage.

• To improve attainment in Maths for all learners by further developing highly effective teaching approaches such as improving the teaching of mental maths. Appropriately targeted interventions such as Catch Up Numeracy will be used to address attainment gaps.

• To improve the physical health of children by increasing opportunities for physical activity and developing teacher capacity in Health and Wellbeing.
