  1. Further develop maths teaching via joint INSET and joint practice evaluation, ensuring involvement of all teaching assistants as well as teachers

COMPLETED. The inclusion of teaching assistants (TAs) in our development of maths teaching has been particularly helpful, and was much appreciated by the TAs themselves.

UNDERWAY. Our SENDCo and HSLW groups have had some sessions but it is proving tricky to find dates when all staff can attend - a result of these roles being part-time. Governance development has been agreed as a priority by the Board and wil be targeted in 2019-2020.

  1. Develop our Improvement through Peer Review (IPR) programme to include an autumn school ‘health check’.
