Strategic Vision

The governors and senior leadership team have a three-year strategic vision for the school:

Leadership

Leadership and Management is forward thinking and able to adapt to the challenges of fluctuations in funding and a changing educational landscape.

 

Children

In partnership with parents, we support all children with the skills and confidence needed for their next steps in education.

 

Staff

Our highly trained staff are valued and supported to continue to the goal to be Outstanding.

 

Environment

We manage our unique school grounds, buildings and facilities efficiently, to maximise social and learning opportunities.

School Development Plan

The strategy is supported by an annual school development plan.

Each year, the Headteacher meets with our Hertfordshire Improvement Plan to determine areas for school development and these are articulated in a plan which is shared with staff and approved by the governors.  Priorities are chosen for each of the four Ofsted inspection strands and progress towards specific objectives within each is monitored throughout the year.

The key priorities for 2024/25 are:

Quality of education

To further develop and embed an enhanced curriculum that nurtures children’s knowledge and appreciation of the outdoor environment, sustainability practices and biodiversity through regular outdoor learning sessions which promote environmental awareness and wellbeing.

 

Leadership and Management

To further enhance the effectiveness and impact of quality first teaching through targeted professional development.
