Good
Progress
Strong
Progress

Progress
Limited
Progress
Priority 1: To ensure potential attainment in Maths at FP & Key Stage 2 at expected level +1 is met
Measureable Pupil Outcomes:
To maintain O6 and L5 at above 50% in Maths in 14/15
 Target achieved. Pupils attained 53% O6 and 61% at Level 5.
 Targeted and appropriate pupil support, improved numeracy planning across the
curriculum and effective differentiation led to ambitious individual targets being achieved.
To ensure that L5 Science is commensurate with L5 in Maths in 14/15
 This target was not attained. Pupils attained 50% L5 in Science.
 Two pupils who attained L5 in Maths did not attain L5 in Science. However this was due to literacy skills which
impacted upon their written ability to plan, develop and in particular to reflect at a solid level 5.
Strong
Progress
Final Evaluation
This target focused staff on the need to plan effectively for the more able pupils. The need address Science at L5 will
remain apriority in 2015-16.
Priority 2: To ensure potential attainment in English at FP & Key Stage 2 at expected level +1 is met
Measureable Pupil Outcomes:
To achieve 50%+ O6 2014/15 and 50%+ L5 2014/15
 Target achieved. Pupils attained 53% outcome 6 and 61% Level 5.
 Targeted and appropriate pupil support, improved literacy planning across the curriculum and effective
differentiation led to ambitious individual targets being achieved.
 In addition the embedding of the drafting policy, implemented in 2013/14, improved extended writing.
To raise standards in spelling from Year 1 to Year 6 against baseline assessments

Good
Progress
Llanrhidian Primary School
 Target achieved, 83% of pupils improved spelling from baseline test.
Improve standards in extended writing from Year2 –Year 6 to support attainment at level +1
 Target improved see above.
Final Evaluation
This target highlighted the effect that ambitious planning has upon standards. Staff are now extremely aware of the need
for differentiation, and this has improved as evidenced through work scrutiny and lesson observations. This has also
given arise to an awareness of where and how planning for groups of learners can be improved in 2015-16.
Priority 3: To develop and track pupil wellbeing at KS2
To capture measureable data on KS2 pupils in terms of:
Teacher assessment of pupil engagement and behaviour
 Target achieved using “My Selfie”
Pupil self-assessment based on “My Selfie” App
 Target achieved using “My Selfie”
Total wellbeing score based on VAP and other key indicators
 Every pupil has a wellbeing score and intervention for any concern is immediate.
Good
Progress
Final Evaluation
This target led to the “My Selfie” system being developed through a PLC. The system is now being rolled out to many
schools in Swansea. Staff understanding of how many pieces of data build an effective profile of a child has led to
effective and appropriate intervention where necessary.
Priority 4: To improve provision and standards in Welsh
Measurable pupil outcomes:
Improved standards for pupils in Welsh at end of KS2 % to improve on 3 year average
 Target achieved. 2012-2014 3 year average was 75.5%. In 2015 this rose to 76%. (including 1 newbie to Welsh
5.5%)
 End of key stage % dropped by 5% in 2015.
Improved standards of oracy for pupils in Welsh at end of FP %
 Oracy improved across the school but still needs to be a feature of 2015/16 SDP

Llanrhidian Primary School
Final Evaluation
Staff are striving to improve provision of Welsh across the school. Assemblies, awards and slot drillio are having a
positive effect. This will remain a priority for 2015 to embed good practice and further develop Welsh skills across the
school.
Priority 5: To improve processes of self-evaluation
Outcomes:
Well-developed subject leaders meeting professional standards of teaching and leadership
 All teachers are aware of national standards.
 PM is linked to professional standards.
 Subject leaders are monitoring more effectively and impact statements from reports feeding directly into position
statements and SDP
Enhanced systems of monitoring through middle leadership tier
 Achieved – timetable of monitoring established
Further develop pupil voice
 Pupils evaluated standards, teaching and leadership throughout the school year.
 A presentation to GB took place in Summer.
Further develop feedback to pupils
 Marking labels established and INSET on feedback took place with Penclawdd Primary
 Adds session on enhancing marking labels further developed staff understanding
Final Evaluation
Staff are more developed in terms of their own reflection of teaching. More work is needed, however, in developing peer
support, involving parents and developing governors. The school has been key in developing ”My Voice” questionnaires
which can capture views of stakeholders. This needs to be embedded in 2015-16.
