Pupil Progress Meetings
Learning from the Improving Schools Programme (ISP) has found that the use of pupil progress meetings is essential in providing a regular timetabled forum for analysis and discussion of the factors that have supported progress and identify collaborative actions to overcome specific barriers to progress.
-
Single Plan
The termly operational raising attainment plan (RAP) spotlights the key objectives to improve learning and teaching and develop leadership and management. It makes the high impact actions for the next term explicit to all stakeholders in order to raise attainment and accelerate progress for vulnerable or underachieving groups.

Learning and Teaching
Quality first teaching is an entitlement for all pupils and therefore needs to be consistently at least good or better across the whole school to ensure sustainable improved outcomes for all pupils and the accelerated progress for pupils identified as slow moving, stuck or falling behind.
-
Whole School
The key to a highly skilled workforce is an effective whole-school systematic approach to continuing professional development (CPD) with bespoke application of well-evidenced materials to inform provision, within the context of the school’s improvement priorities.
-
Tracking
A school needs to establish rigorous pupil tracking systems as a critical first step towards ensuring the learning needs of all pupils are met. The school tracking systems should provide a regular, accurate picture of pupils’ attendance, behaviour, attainment and progress at whole-school and at class level.
