Stabilising staff team following a period of staff mobility (teachers & admin team especially). Provide relevant CPD for these roles.

Review teaching timetables to support staff delivery - staff are finding it very challenging to meet the demands of the curriculum to ‘fit everything in’. So, for adding further maths fluency teaching…’what gives?’

Improving outcomes particularly for disadvantaged children

Maths outcomes - capacity for intervention and addressing gaps due to high need for 1:1 support

QA - Capacity to cover subject time, staff workload - utilising Deputy Headteacher non-contact time but this not financially sustainable long-term

Everything is held back by budgets

Safeguarding - a rise in number of referrals that no longer meet threshold. Social workers changing frequently or leaving - makes relationships difficult.

New Ofsted framework:

Teaching and curriculum - “children make progress from their individual starting points”

Attainment - “children’s progress and attainment is broadly in line with national average”

Which one is it?!!! For some schools these two are very far apart!

More money

- Good induction, mentoring, supervision, more money.

Budget - release for development

Funding for pupils

Limit training to that which is relevant to priorities

Manage expectations of your self and your staff

Not sticking to priorities - be clear about what we want to change.

Excessive workload - manage expectations.

Raising Attendance in the city is challenging, this is a culture shift and will take time. Again a new team managing this.

Safeguarding demands are high

Some challenging behaviour, SEND and unmet need. Limited support or alternative provisions from county

Outcomes - Will take time to improve quality of teaching and plug gaps. Keeping high expectations

Outcomes - support with curriculum review in subject specific areas

Staffing

Teaching commitment / time out

Small school / NOR

Staff well-being & response to increased demand, both in achieving strong outcomes but also meeting pupil needs.

Staffing

Capacity to lead/support improvements

Support from colleagues

The Hub meetings are great - really good way of sharing local issues and successes. Can we have more of them… Jonathan?

Collaboration - networks are being built. Already we are visiting a school for their inclusion approach and BDAT in November

Leader - support and training to meet the priorities of the school. For others, empowering others to take ownership over the areas that develop the SIP and education of all

Increasing levels of poverty reducing opportunities and experiences for more children particularly disadvantaged families and children - redirection to/increasing resources for pupil premium children

Staff retention and recruitment - increased support and capacity to build our own and for succession plans
