1. Raising Standards in Reading, Writing and Maths.

St John's achieved a strong set of results for the children who sat the Year 6 SATs in the summer. However, we have further work to ensure more children achieve the Greater Depth standard in all three subjects (Reading, Writing and Maths - RWM)

EXP - expected standard
GDS - greater depth standard

2. Improve the outdoor play experience for children at playtimes

We have begun purchasing additional equipment for the playgrounds. The play spaces are improving all the time thanks to the donations from parents and funding from the PTA. We now have a sandpit for the children to access during playtime.

We would like dressing up clothes and any old suitcases (not broken or unsafe please)
In addition, if you have a table football game, pool or snooker table that you no longer require, we would find a new home for these.

3. Develop a revised curriculum with new and updated topics, making learning relevant and exciting for ALL children.

The government have recently undertaken a curriculum review and presented their findings which we have read. This has provided us with guidance about the changes we would like to make to the curriculum that is currently in place at St John's. We know that children learn more effectively when learning is relevant, when connections are made between prior learning and next steps. We also want to update our topics to ensure that they interesting and reflect the skills needed for the future.
