Improvement plan for Brighton Primary School 2021
2019 to 2021

How to complete this template
• Complete every step. The Quality School Improvement Planning Handbook explains how to do this. In addition, your education director will provide support.

• Complete steps 1 to 3 during term 4 of 2018 and have it approved by the principal, governing council chairperson, and education director.

• Email this plan (steps 1 to 3) to your education director.

• Publish your school improvement plan on your school website.

• Work through step 4 (Improve Practice and Monitor Impact) regularly throughout the school year. This step does not need to be published on your website.

• Complete step 5 (Review and Evaluate) in term 4 of each year. This step does not need to be published on your website, though it should inform the
  Improvement Planning and Outcomes section of your annual report to the school community.

• Your school improvement plan will be current for 2019 to 2021 and should be updated in term 4 each year.

Consider how improvements in teaching practice will help to achieve your improvement goals and answer the
question ‘What areas of practice should we focus on improving to reach our goals?’ Specify your challenge of
practice for each goal in the table below.

The Quality School Improvement Planning Handbook explains how to do this.

  Challenge of practice
  Goal 1       If we were to adopt and implement a whole school, evidenced based approach to the teaching of writing, we will see an
               improvement in the quality of outcomes in student writing F-7.

  Goal 2       If we were to adopt and implement a whole school, evidenced based approach to the teaching of reading, based on the Big 6 and
               Jolly Phonics / Grammar, we will see an improvement in the achievement of student reading across our school.

  Goal 3       If we were to adopt and implement a whole school, evidenced based approach to differentiated teaching, and challenging
               students in numeracy, we will see an increase in the number of students who are recognised as high achievers.

Consider evidence of best practice to answer the question ‘What actions should we take to improve our practice and reach our goals?’ Specify your
actions for improvement, timeline, responsibility, resources and success criteria for each goal in the tables below.

The Quality School Improvement Planning Handbook explains how to do this.

 Challenge of practice              If we were to adopt and implement a whole school, evidenced based approach to differentiated teaching,
                                    and challenging students in numeracy, we will see an increase in the number of students who are
                                    recognised as high achievers.
