St Barnabas School Development Plan 

Our School Development Plan (SDP) sets out the key priorities for the year ahead, helping us to continue improving teaching, learning, and wellbeing across our community.

Everything we do is guided by our Christian vision:

“Let all that you do be done in love.” – 1 Corinthians 16:14

For the current school year, our priorities focus on four main areas:

 

1. Early Years

2. Curriculum and Teaching – Maths 

To implement a consistent, evidence-informed whole-school approach to developing number fluency and mathematical understanding. 

 

3. Inclusion – Year 3 of 3 

To sustain and embed high-quality inclusive practice, ensuring adaptive teaching is consistently effective and securing strong progress, positive outcomes and successful inclusion for all pupils with SEND. 

 

4. Personal development and well-being  - The Year of Growth

To increase children’s skills of resilience, self regulation and independence, demonstrated through high standards of behaviour, presentation and engagement in all aspects of learning with a specific focus on children with SEND.
