Improve teaching in order to raise pupils’ achievement by ensuring that teachers: set high expectations for achievement, especially for the most- and least-able pupils, by providing challenging learning activities which are neither too easy nor too difficult make sure that pupils in Year 1 build on the good progress they made in Reception and continue their good rate of learning make sure that pupils develop a secure understanding of what they are learning in mathematics before moving them on to the next step teach handwriting skills systematically and give pupils time to practise regularly to refine their skills set high expectations for pupils to present their work to the best of their ability. Strengthen the impact of monitoring by leaders and governors on pupils’ achievement by ensuring that: senior leaders are allocated time to put their recent training into practice and check on pupils’ work and teaching in lessons rigorously and regularly the outcomes of monitoring are used to help teachers improve their practice the school development plan includes measurable targets and timescales so that governors can hold the school to account for improvements.
