Secondary curriculum does not currently reflect the needs of our admissions pool. This has an impact on student numbers and student outcomes in the longer term.

Sheltered Curriculum at KS3

leefalconer — 2025-05-28 07:41:08 UTC

Good overall progress on all areas

2025-05-28 07:41:41 UTC

Consistency in approach and systems in Secondary. Not enough 'sweating the small stuff' to get the right school culture that everything else builds upon

Whole school development with Line management and SF - inclusive of Admin, PRi/Sec

Onboarding split of roles and responsibilities - need stronger alignment between primary and secondary

rebeccacarroll2 — 2025-05-28 07:44:09 UTC

Build on the momentum - parent engagement has grown. How do we keep this going?

Our coms platform could be leveraged much more and serve as a common denominator for the whole school

2025-05-28 07:44:46 UTC

Empower SSLT and PSLT to lead on key school systems and report into SLT (i.e. calendar, CPD, INSET). Good development for them and increase capacity in other areas for SLT.

leefalconer — 2025-05-28 07:45:16 UTC

rebeccacarroll2 — 2025-05-28 07:45:30 UTC

Increasing priorities - how do we ensure we focus on the main things and not get distracted

Greater PSLT and SSLT collaboration. We can be a great team!

Admissions still struggle to create magic moments

2025-05-28 07:45:46 UTC

Open doors culture does not always resonate with all our staff.

Primary

2025-05-28 07:46:24 UTC

Strong progress in most areas of the curriculum.

Subject leaders share a common understanding of key priorities and needs

Effective collaboration between PLT and Subject leaders members

Clear definition of behaviour expectations

Common willingness to build long lasting systems

Shared understanding of contextualised learning which leads to a responsive curriculum

Amplifying student voice within marketing and admissions

2025-05-28 07:47:08 UTC

Nothing betas first hand experience

Teacher recruitment could become increasingly challenging - smaller pool of teachers to draw from, especially in some Secondary subject areas

leefalconer — 2025-05-28 07:47:17 UTC

rebeccacarroll2 — 2025-05-28 07:47:43 UTC

Re-establish our expectations around everyone being part of the admissions and marketing team.

Re-iterate the importance of good communication

Sometimes we are too shy to showcase ambition

Staff movement at SLT and middle leaders - let's not assume everyone knows.

Competition

2025-05-28 07:49:54 UTC

Daaahhhh

Joke aside ... external pressure might force us to react rather than stay on our course

We know we are good: why is it so hard to sell?

2025-05-28 07:51:03 UTC

I feel we have too many parents with limited "school" experience.

Primary

2025-05-28 07:53:41 UTC

Continue to build on the foundations laid over the past 3 years=>strengthen GC links across all subjects when possible

Create strong links between EAL and the mainstream classrooms =>curriculum review

Continue to develop collaboration with Secondary or other parts of the school when possible (CPD for example)
