Evaluations

Our evaluations

Our school evaluation takes into account a wide range of data and the analysis of the data and subsequent planning is a strength of the leadership. Below right are links to a wide range of evaluative documents to support our school evaluation.

Stakeholder views


Gathering the views of our stakeholders is essential to evaluation and planning for future develops. We look to gather views in a number of ways, including annual surveys. 

Pupil surveys are completed with the pupils and we try to elicit the pupil voice wherever possible, using symbols and pictures to support. We also have a 'Student Council' who represent their peers to the Senior Team and the Governing Body. 

Parent/Carer surveys are collected each year, as well as parent/carer meetings where they are able to share their ideas and thoughts. Please see 'Parent/Carers' page.   

An annual questionnaire is conducted for all staff and like the pupil and parents surveys shared with governors, analysed and use in both evaluating the school and in the planning of improvements. 

External evaluation


The school uses external evaluations and their frameworks  to both validate what we do and to identify further improvements. 

Please note that the DfE Performance tables is not an appropriate peformance measure for schools with pupils with significant SEND.

Internal evaluation

A School Improvement Plan (SIP) is a strategic framework aimed at enhancing educational quality through targeted interventions and measurable outcomes.

It is informed by a thorough school evaluation, which assesses current performance against established benchmarks, identifying areas for development to ensure continual progress and effective learning environments for students.
