What have we achieved?
What are our strengths?
What do we need to do next?

3. Raising Attainment in Literacy and Language
What did we do?
We developed and agreed a new Progressive Spelling Programme.
We delivered the Read Write Inc programme and the Fresh Start Programme to learners with identified support needs.
We further developed our ‘school reading culture’ through the introduction of an outdoor library.
What was the impact?
Almost all children (97%) are achieving expected levels in P1 (an increase from 93% in 2016). Mean standardised score of 113.
Almost all children (92%) are achieving expected levels in P4 (an increase from 84% in 2016). Mean standardised score of 110.
Most children (88%) are achieving expected levels In P7 (89% in 2016 but this reflects the additional needs in this cohort). Mean standardised score of 117.
What Next?
We will launch our newly developed Progressive Spelling Programme P3-7.
We will further develop our grammar progression.
We will further develop a genre progression.
We will continue to engage with the National benchmarks to support our assessment and moderation of Literacy and Language.

What did we do?
We continued to embed SEAL in Nursery to P3 and rolled it out in P4.
We developed a whole school approach to mental agility through ‘Stockbridge Counts’
We continued to support staff development in maths through CPD and Collegiate time.
We continued to identify and support learners who were not achieving expected levels through interventions in class and small group work with our Support for Learning Team.
We have invested in resources to extend our most able learners – TJ textbooks, NRich etc and a small group worked with the maths department from the High School.
What was the impact?
All children (100%) are achieving expected levels in P1 (an increase from 93% in 2016). Mean standardised score of 106.
Almost all children (92%) are achieving expected levels in P4 (an increase from 73% in 2016). Mean standardised score of 111.

We will use the new National Benchmarks for moderation and assessment.
We will pilot the use of Numicon to support learners with Additional Needs in Numeracy and Mathematics.

5. Cluster Planning, Assessment and Moderation of Mathematics
What did we do?
We worked with Broughton High School Cluster Colleagues to ensure a consistent approach to the planning, assessment and moderation of expressions and equations.
We worked with colleagues from across the Cluster to create exemplars of evidence to support our moderation.
What was the impact?
Most Stockbridge Learners were assessed as meeting expected levels of attainment in expressions and equations work.
Staff are confident in their teacher assessments.
What Next?
We will share CEC progression pathways and increase staff confidence using these, to ensure staff have a shared understanding of the standards across the levels.
We will provide opportunities to meet the professional development needs identified by staff.

6. Building Resilience What did we do?
We launched our Building Resilience Programme (Nursery – Primary 7)
What was the impact?
Learners are using the language that they have learnt through the programme when experiencing challenges - ‘I cant do it…yet!’
Learners are explicitly taught that the choices that they make can shape their brain and that their mindset it not fixed! 94% of pupils in P3-7 reported that they can learn from their mistakes in our pupil survey.
Staff and parents have reported that they have seen an improvement in learners ability to face challenges and manage their emotions.
What Next?
We will continue to engage all children in this programme.
We will continue to refer to our Learning Powers and Social Skills in assemblies, classwork and display.
