Each year, the school senior leadership team work in collaboration with our governors to identify our school development priorities. These priorities are decided upon based on results and outcomes and ongoing monitoring processes which are constantly reviewed. Our School Development Priorities underpin everything that we do and are used to inform planning and curriculum content as well as our financial budgeting.
