Shaping Our School Together: Our Annual Improvement Process

At our school, we constantly strive to provide the best possible education and environment for your children. Every year, we look closely at what we are doing well and where we can make our school even better. This is a true community effort, and we gather insights from everyone involved in our school life.

How We Gather Feedback

We gather a wide range of views and data to build a complete picture of our school:

• Your Voice Matters: We run surveys, consultations, and face-to-face meetings with parents, pupils, staff, and governors.
• Inside the Classroom: We look at pupil assessment data, review children's workbooks, and conduct lesson observations to see learning in action.
• Learning from Others: We collaborate with other schools and study educational research to bring innovative ideas into our classrooms.

Turning Feedback into Action

We evaluate all of this information to create two core documents that guide our next steps:

1. The School Self-Evaluation Summary: An honest reflection on our current strengths and areas for growth.
2. The School Improvement Plan: Our roadmap of specific activities and targets for the coming year.

We want to be entirely transparent with our community about our goals and progress. See the link below for our latest school self-evaluation document.

Music Development Planning

The Department for Education has requested that all schools share a plan of how music is taught in school and plans for further development.

Please find below our plan for the development of music at Water Mill.
