School Improvement Plan for Numeracy
You may remember in 2018 we emailed out questionnaires to parents and pupils to get their feedback on how Maths was being taught in our school. We also asked teachers to give their viewpoint. The results were very interesting!! It is the basis for our Numeracy School Improvement Plan (SIP).
Using this information we sat down as a staff and thrashed out ideas on how to address some of the concerns and how to progress Maths.
In our Numeracy SIP, you will be able to see all the targets that we will be working towards over the next 3 years . Some of these are being put in place this year and some will be implemented over the coming years.
Please have a read of our Numeracy SIP. We will keep you updated with progress.
