Rotherfield Primary School Growing futures

School Improvement Plan

The school improvement plan sets out our strategic priorities for improving the school.

 

The school improvement plan is the key document in our school that outlines our strategic priorities.  This document drives action plans for leaders across the school in subjects or areas of focus.  Staff appraisals are also linked directly to the achievement of these priorities.


Governors are kept regularly appraised of progress against our targets and objectives through their meetings.  Governors provide scrutiny and challenge to the Headteacher and leadership team to constantly drive improvement in the school provision.
