School development
3 Year Strategic Plan
September 2021 – July 2024
Our vision:
At Chawson 1st School we all share a united vision, that all of our children will develop into independent, articulate and aspirational children.
Context:
COVID-19 school closures have had a profound effect on all children nationally. We aim to support children to catch up and reach the highest possible standards.
Aims:
- When they leave us, our children will be ready for the next stage of their education and results across the school will compare favorably to national outcomes. All staff are aspirational for our children.
- All children, regardless of ability, will realise our vision and develop into independent, articulate and aspirational children.
- Teaching across the school is consistently good or better. This is founded on a culture of continual professional development. Professional development opportunities are rich and support a depth of understanding.
- Staff development supports all staff to become experts in their craft. Professional curiosity, action research and autonomy are actively promoted.
- The school continues to be community focused; seeking active partnerships with parents.
