We were very pleased with our 2020 Ofsted report which valued the excellent work at Shaw Wood and what we achieve for our children and community.
However, plans to improve on the areas recommended by Ofsted were overtaken by issues arising from successive lockdown of school in 2020 and 2021.
Our improvement plan now focuses on ensuring that children make rapid progress so that they make up for lost learning quickly and are able to attain at a stage appropriate for their age.
In 2021/22 our School Improvement Plan includes the priorities as shown below and includes details of which staff have been allocated to work in which area

School Improvement Teams and Priorities

The focus of this term’s SDP is to ensure that teachers are making careful and accurate use of ongoing assessment to evaluate the impact of learning and are planning subsequent lessons to effectively meet the learning needs of pupils.

Priority Ensure quality first teaching is underpinned by accurate and timely assessment, making sure that defined end points are taught where possible and that pace is maintained for maximum acceleration of progress.
Maths: Ensure all aspects of maths are thoroughly taught – focus for the remaining term to be addressing defined end points in areas other than calculation.
Writing : Ensure high expectations for quality and quantity throughout school – appropriate to the developmental stage of the individual child
Reading: Year 1: Ensure high emphasis on phonic teacher as children develop the necessary skills to write Year 2: Focus on developing fluency for those working within Y1 curriculum Year 3 – 6: Ensure planning and delivery logically addresses questioning skills so that they are sequentially taught, modelled, practised, understood and applied independently
QFT Audit: Evaluate the quality and impact of provision for all children, particularly those who show high levels of regression, so that any gaps in teacher skills knowledge and understanding can be addressed.
