    SDP: School Development Plan

    BARMING PRE-SCHOOL & PRIMARY SCHOOL PLAN ON A PAGE 2026-2027

    Our focus is on developing the whole child, giving them the best possible chance of realising their true potential. We support our children in being healthy and happy, with a keen sense of who they are and where they might go in life.

    Respect                                Responsibility                                             Wisdom                                             Courage

    Our values act as a compass. They help us navigate the big decisions and guide our everyday actions - throughout the good and the tough times. They are an integral part of our DNA and help all those connected to the school know what is expected of them and what they can expect of us.

    Be kind, be safe, be responsible and make good choices.

     

                           
    Executive Summary:

    This School Development Plan (SDP) sets out the strategic priorities for the academic year 2026–2027, designed to ensure all pupils receive a

    high-quality, inclusive, and enriching education.

    The plan is underpinned by two key priorities:
     

    KP1: To deliver a broad and enriching educational journey that supports pupils academically, socially, and personally, encouraging curiosity and

    empowering them to explore opportunities and develop their interests both within and beyond the inclusive classroom/school environment.

     

    KP2: To further develop consistency across the educational journey by embedding adaptive teaching, high-quality oracy, and inclusive practices,

    thereby increasing pupil independence, reducing reliance on adult support and intervention, and minimising cognitive overload.

     To further improve:

    • Activities in some lessons are not consistently adapted to meet pupils’ needs across some subjects. As a result, some pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school should continue to develop teaching so that all pupils achieve equally highly across the whole curriculum, and none are left behind.
