STRATEGIC IMPROVEMENT PLAN
2016-2019
We aim “to create a happy, caring, secure and stimulating environment in which children are supported to accelerate progress and grow
as individuals, and where the community enjoy our facilities to promote life-long learning.” (From school aims)
Through our Strategic Improvement Plan we hope to meet these aims and move towards becoming an outstanding school and the school of
choice for Wigston6
We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then
teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
(Romans 12: 3-8)

Section 1:
Long term goals and priorities for development.
The Context for development:
School profile:
We have 275 pupils on roll: 133 boys, 141 girls, and
27 in our pre-school. Our roll has increased by 55%
in 1 year There are high levels of vulnerable children
of pupils receive Free School meals, 35% are
children causing concern and 33% have Special
Needs. Mobility is slightly above average at 14% and
this year there has been a continued significant
improvement in attendance which is now above
national expectation at 96%
Standards and progress:
From very low entry points (agreed by HMI), in 2014,
70% of pupils reached a ‘good level of development’
in the Foundation Stage, in line with National
Average. This demonstrates good and outstanding
progress. Pupils have made good and some
outstanding progress through Key Stage 1 and
attainment at the end of Key Stage 1 is consistently
improving. Our 2016 standard results were broadly
in line with national outcomes within the context of
a
new
testing
regime
and
curriculum.
However there is
more to do to
embed
early
reading
and
language
development with
our
youngest
pupils to ensure
they
are
well
prepared for the
KS2
curriculum
and narrow gaps for pupils with complex levels of
disadvantage.
At Key Stage 2, pupils make good progress, and by
the time pupils leave All Saints at the end of Yr 5
they have closed attainment gaps with their peers
nationally. By supporting and strongly developing
pupils’ resilience and focus on basic skills we are
working to ensure all pupils make excellent progress
and they take on a higher challenge level of the new
curriculum and master their learning. As with all
schools nationally we continue to develop and
extend our work in assessment and tracking to
ensure all children make excellent progress. The vast
majority make above expected progress in reading
writing and maths. Pupils in receipt of the Pupil
Premium grant perform equally well and in some
cases produce outstanding standards. All in all there
is a consistent picture of improving progress across
the school. However there remains opportunity to
continue to narrow the gender gap. Girls perform
especially well in writing, and boys’ in maths. On
average SEN children make good to outstanding
progress across the school. Our nurture provision is
well established, as pupils make emotional as well as
academic progress. Nurture continues to be a
priority as the work of the Family Link Workers
develops. This is especially important in emotionally
supporting pupils so they are ready to learn.
Leadership and
Management:
In our March 2016
we were graded
good by Ofsted,
the
Inspection
report clearly states
the
impact
of
strong
leadership
on the school and the focus of the school to
develop middle leadership further. We continue to
work with partner schools to build the capacity of
our own staff team and support other schools. Our
FS and Literacy Leads are both recognised develop
outreach work, and we are involved in projects
across the school and locality to enhance research
and development.
Our Section 48 Inspection (Diocese, April 2012)
was good, and we expect to repeat this in our next
inspection in the Summer term 2017. We continue
to develop our identity as a Church of England
School with the needs of parents and families who
attend our school in the community of Wigston. The
role of Foundation Governors is central to this. Our
thriving ‘FAST’ team and Parental partnership
continues to improve and use of the community
centre is healthy, yet there is more work to be done
to improve the conditions of the environment to
inspire all learning and teaching
Our next challenge is to ensure a smooth transition
for leadership as we have and new Chair of
Governors and deputy head. We have rapidly
increasing numbers and we will maintain our strong
focus on development of each individual child,
especially Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural
development as well as academic outcomes. As part
of this we will embed provision for our Year 6 pupils
from September 2016, and ensure excellent
outcomes at KS2 to match those at KS1. Alongside
this we will be revisiting and developing
implications for Academy Status for pupils and
families at present, and develop our provision for
SEN pupils, especially ASD provision, and continue
to challenge and remove barriers for all children in
learning and development to ensure that we are
‘All Saints: all growing, all learning, altogether’.
.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT : All Saints: all learning, all growing, altogether.
We are committed to serving our local neighbourhood by offering in
our school an education of the highest possible quality in order that
our children may realise their full potential; and the facilities and
resources of our Community Centre to promote education, health and
leisure for everyone.
We are a caring community where attitudes of mutual respect and
responsibility are fostered and promoted; where everyone is valued;
where personal endeavour is encouraged and where achievements are
recognised.
We aim to ensure that Christian values underpin the
ethos of the whole establishment and the curriculum
provision.
We strive to maintain our buildings, facilities and resources in the best
possible condition in order to provide a safe, welcoming and attractive
environment for the whole community.
We attach high priority to developing good relationships
and strong links within the wider community.
This mission statement is the culmination of consultation with teaching
and support staff, governors and parents. It is owned by everyone and
is intended to underpin all policies and practices of the school and our
Pre-School.
