School Development Plan 2021-2022

The annual School Development Plan details a range of improvement strategies covering all aspects of the school. It ties in with the School's overall aims, ethos and vision and is written by the Senior Leadership Team with input from and approval by the Governing Body.

DPO3 To provide academic reassurance and maximised opportunities so that all learners achieve their full potential.
DPO4 To continue to widen opportunities for collaboration and partnership with local and national organisations.
