School Development PLan 2025-28

28th Nov 2025

It is with great pride and a deep sense of responsibility that we, as a school, introduce our new School Development Plan (SDP) 2025-28 —a strategic document that captures our vision, values, and priorities for the years ahead.

This plan is more than a set of objectives; it is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to every child in our school. It outlines how we will continue to raise standards, nurture wellbeing, and ensure that all pupils are supported to achieve their full potential and let their light shine.

The development of this plan has been a collaborative effort. We are grateful to our staff, governors, pupils, and parents for their valuable insights and contributions. Their voices have helped shape a plan that is both ambitious and grounded in the realities of our school context.

As we move forward, this plan will guide our actions, inform our decisions, and help us measure our progress. It will also serve as a living document—one that evolves as we learn, grow, and respond to the changing needs of our learners and school community.

We look forward to working with all stakeholders to bring this plan to life and to continue building a school where every child feels safe, valued, and inspired to succeed.
