Key targets for Improvement

                                                                         2020 - 2021

  The key targets for this academic year are as follows:

     1. For all pupils to achieve at least 100% expected progress from their starting points in reading, writing and mathematics in years 3 to 6.
        Central to our progress judgment is our quality assurance system.
        Our 2019 data illustrated that the pupils made at least good progress. Our progress scores that appear in published data do not reflect the exact
        progress our pupils make; this is the key reason we use a range of evidence to illustrate progress. Our quality assurance system focuses on books,
        learning, case studies and a variety of discussions. This information enables us to have a rounded view of progress at RJS. Preparing children for
        the world beyond school is essential, which is why we focus on reading, writing and mathematics. We recognise we still have more work to do with
        reading and as a result there will be a sharp focus on CPD for the teachers.

     2. To continue to develop and embed a clear curriculum strategy focused on intent, implementation and impact. Central to this target is
        ensuring high expectations in every subject and with every stakeholder.
        In 2019 we took part in a pilot inspection using the new Education Inspection Framework; whilst this recognised that we need to enhance our
        implementation in foundation subjects, it illustrated a strong intent for what we teach. Reading across the curriculum is a key component and we are
        aiming to ensure all pupils have a love of reading in a range of subjects.

     3. To continue to have the highest expectations for vulnerable pupils so they make better than expected progress.
        Our key vulnerable groups are disadvantaged and SEND pupils. We are developing the methods of teaching and the provision for these pupils
        across the school and the curriculum. A key drive is to ensure that these groups achieve the best possible outcomes.

     4. To deliver outstanding personal development, behaviour and welfare (PDBW). This is central to our culture and links with two key aims:
        equality and inclusion. With a focus on ‘build back better’ with our recovery curriculum, central to this target is the support we provide
        for the emotional wellbeing of our learners and staff.
        The challenges we face as educational professionals are huge and it is vital that we support the emotional well-being of pupils and staff. As we
        evaluate our curriculum, we will continue to focus on the well-being of both pupils and staff. We will develop an outdoor learning strategy and ensure
        that our curriculum provides a wealth of opportunities to develop the pupils’ emotional well-being. Ensuring that our staff are resilient is key and as
        such we need to amend our working patterns to ensure we can motivate and engage our learners. Over the course of the year we will evaluate our
        behaviour and bullying strategies to ensure the children and staff feel safe, listened to and valued.

1.                 School Development Plan 2020-2021
  For all pupils to achieve at least 100% expected progress from their starting points in reading, writing and mathematics in years 3 to 6. Central to
  our progress judgment is our quality assurance system.
  Our 2019 data illustrated that the pupils made at least good progress. Our progress scores that appear in published data do not reflect the exact progress
  our pupils make; this is the key reason we use a range of evidence to illustrate progress. Our quality assurance system focuses on books, learning, case
  studies and a variety of discussions. This information enables us to have a rounded view of progress at RJS. Preparing children for the world beyond school
  is essential, which is why we focus on reading, writing and mathematics. We recognise we still have more work to do with reading and as a result there will
  be a sharp focus on CPD for the teachers.

  Success Criteria – what will be the impact by the end of the action plan? – What will be better?
     ● 2019 data showed that 80% of pupils achieved the expected standard in reading, writing and mathematics, 18% achieved the higher score in this area. We will be
        aiming for 82% in 2020 at the expected and 22% at the higher score.
     ● Our progress score in reading was -1.8, in writing it was -1.3 and in mathematics it was -0.1. As a junior school, we suffer from not having any influence on the key
        stage 1 data. Ofsted has stated that progress scores are lower in junior schools than in primary, yet attainment is higher in junior schools. This recognises the
        challenge we face. Our quality assurance information shows our progress is higher than these unreliable figures.
     ● It should be noted that despite the 2019 cohort having 8% of pupils with SEN and 10% EAL, the progress data states that we only had 1 child out of 154 with a low
        prior attainment.
     ● Books in core subjects will illustrate a consistent approach to live marking and feedback.
     ● Regular reporting will enable progress to be tracked regularly, SEN reviews will form part of the pupil progress meetings and only be as a separate meeting for
        high-level SEN pupils. Combining these meetings will enable a shared responsibility and will highlight the low need SEN children that make a significant difference
        to our progress data. We will develop a bank of effective teaching strategies that will be shared with all staff.
     ● As a school, we define progress as the progress a pupil makes from their starting point. 1 point on our scale is expected, 2+ is more than expected. Data will be
        examined alongside quality assurance documents
     ● The quality of teaching will be monitored through appraisals and in termly school improvement reviews.
     ● Appraisal observations will use the whole school lesson and environment reflection spreadsheet to monitor teaching.
     ● Teachers will use the whole school lesson and environment reflection spreadsheet to reflect on their own teaching.
     ● Key groups - most able, disadvantaged, disadvantaged most able and SEND - will be monitored so that the gap closes compared to national figures and within
        school data. This monitoring will be evident at the C&L meetings.
     ● Pupil conferencing will focus on attitudes to learning and teachers will collate pupil’s views on barriers to learning.
     ● Vulnerable groups will continue to progress at a greater rate than the average, addressing gaps from previous learning. These pupils will be identified by SLT and
        targeted with one to one tuition and interventions. All pupils’ targets will be reviewed and adjusted if necessary and reported in pupil progress meetings.
     ● All staff will share responsibility for quality in all areas of teaching and learning; shared responsibility resulting in a deeper understanding of teaching and learning at
        RJS for all.
     ● LSAs will take part in the QA system in the spring term.
     ● Language used in Maths No Problem will be common across the school.
     ● Quality of teaching and learning will be monitored half termly through visits to classrooms and around the school by EHT and DHT. AHTs will report their findings
        from weekly learning walks to the HT.
     ● The ScholarPack assessment system will support teaching and learning so that children with gaps can be easily identified and addressed.
     ● Teachers will pull reports from ScholarPack for their use in teaching.
     ● Standardised scores entered into ScholarPack will be used to monitor estimated progress measures across the school, feeding into the KPI document.
     ● The culture of regularly reading for enjoyment positively impacts children’s vocabulary, grammar, punctuation and overall reading outcomes.

●     The curriculum will promote a love of learning.
     ●     The children’s growth mindset will enable them to be intrinsically motivated to achieve their best.
     ●     Live marking will be used to develop children’s ownership and understanding of their own achievements, progress and targets.

      2. School Development Plan 2020-2021
  To continue to develop and embed a clear curriculum strategy focused on intent, implementation and impact. Central to this target is ensuring
  high expectations in every subject and with every stakeholder.
  In 2019 we took part in a pilot inspection using the new Education Inspection Framework, whilst this recognised that we need to enhance our implementation
  in foundation subjects it illustrated a strong intent for what we teach. Reading across the curriculum is a key component and we are aiming to ensure all
  pupils have a love of reading in a range of subjects.

  Success Criteria – what will be the impact by the end of the action plan? – What will be better?

      ●    We will have enhanced implementation and impact across the curriculum including in foundation subjects.
      ●    Curriculum leaders drive the implementation of the curriculum across the school and hold subject leaders to account to know how the curriculum is implemented.
      ●    A curriculum policy that outlines the vision that leaders have in the school and the purpose for each subject.
      ●    Each subject area has skills progression maps that the children use to identify the skills they are using and to make links across their learning.
      ●    Curriculum leaders know how the big picture of the curriculum translates into plans and know what it looks like in the classroom.
      ●    To know the impact that the curriculum is having on the pupils’ knowledge and understanding.
      ●    To have a clear broad and balanced curriculum.

     3. School Development Plan 2020-2021
  To continue to have the highest expectations for vulnerable pupils so they make better than expected progress.
  Our key vulnerable groups are disadvantaged and SEND pupils. We are developing the methods of teaching and the provision for these pupils across the
  school and the curriculum. A key drive is to ensure that these groups achieve the best possible outcomes.
  Success Criteria – what will be the impact by the end of the action plan? – What will be better?
         ● All staff will know this key group across their year group
         ● Interventions will be reviewed by QA to evaluate effectiveness
         ● Disadvantaged pupils will make better than expected progress from their starting points
         ● Governors will have a clear understanding of pupil premium expenditure and impact
         ● Case studies will help evaluate the impact of interventions and actions
         ● Self-esteem of disadvantaged pupils will improve and will be evaluated in governor pupil conferencing
         ● 2021 data will illustrate the disadvantaged pupils make better than expected progress
         ● Disadvantaged pupils will have more opportunities both socially and academically as a result of higher profile recognition

      4. School Development Plan 2020-2021
  To deliver outstanding personal development, behaviour and welfare (PDBW). This is central to our culture and links with two key aims: equality
  and inclusion. With a focus on ‘build back better’ with our recovery curriculum, central to this target is the support we provide for the emotional
  wellbeing of our learners and staff.
  The challenges we face as educational professionals are huge and it is vital that we support the emotional well-being of pupils and staff. As we evaluate our
  curriculum we will continue to focus on the well-being of both pupils and staff. We will develop an outdoor learning strategy and ensure that our curriculum
  provides a wealth of opportunities to develop the pupils’ emotional well-being. Ensuring that our staff are resilient is key and as such we need to amend our
  working patterns to ensure we can motivate and engage our learners. Over the course of the year, we will evaluate our behaviour and bullying strategies to
  ensure the children and staff feel safe, listened to and valued.
  Success Criteria – what will be the impact by the end of the action plan? – What will be better?
     ● All staff will ensure there is a shared responsibility for safeguarding and the children’s wellbeing
     ● The values and vision of the school will be lived and walked by all
     ● Incidents of behaviour will be less frequent

●    Attendance will be above the national average
      ●    Behaviour will be outstanding
      ●    Staff will be consistent in all approaches
      ●    Data analysis of behaviour ladders will show progress with key pupils over three terms.
      ●    Children learn through the ‘5 levers of recovery’ to ensure children have the opportunity to regain skills aside from the academic, in order to be in a position to
           learn.

  The Recovery Curriculum is built on the 5 Levers, as a systematic, relationships-based approach to reigniting the flame of learning in each child. Many children will return to
  school disengaged. School may seem irrelevant after a long period of isolation, living with a background of silent fear, always wondering if the day will come when the silence
  speaks and your life is changed forever. Our quest, our mission as educators, should be to journey with that child through a process of re-engagement, which leads them
  back to their rightful status as a fully engaged, authentic learner.

  We believe that the following 5 levers, as a foundation to our curriculum, will support the children:

  Lever 1: Relationships – we can’t expect our students to return joyfully, and many of the relationships that were thriving, may need to be invested in and restored. We need
  to plan for this to happen, not assume that it will. Reach out to greet them, use the relationships we build to cushion the discomfort of returning.

  Lever 2: Community – we must recognise that curriculum will have been based in the community for a long period of time. We need to listen to what has happened in this
  time, understand the needs of our community and engage them in the transitioning of learning back into school.

  Lever 3: Transparent Curriculum – all of our students will feel like they have lost time in learning and we must show them how we are addressing these gaps, consulting
  and co-constructing with the children to heal this sense of loss.

  Lever 4: Metacognition – in different environments, students will have been learning in different ways. It is vital that we make the skills for learning in a school environment
  explicit to our students to reskill and rebuild their confidence as learners.

  Lever 5: Space – to be, to rediscover self, and to find their voice on learning in this issue. It is only natural that we all work at an incredible pace to make sure this group of
  learners are not disadvantaged against their peers, providing opportunity and exploration alongside the intensity of our expectations.

  We will use the skills around empathy we developed through Beacon House Trauma Informed Education training to enhance our skills in teaching and supporting
  the children with the 5 levers.
