Self Evaluation
When putting new actions together we evaluate the success of previous strategies; decide on the focus for our improvement by unpicking and analysing data; highlighting barriers for learning, identifying desired outcomes and the success criteria to achieve it.
2019-2020 Identified Barriers to Learning
- Social and emotional issues resulting in low-confidence and low self-esteem.
- Attendance: Some children’s attendance is low which in turn has an impact on their learning.
- Life Experiences: Some children lack wider-experiences.
- Children who are young carers.
- Parents may not have has a successful or enjoyable education themselves and this then impacts on their feelings and attitudes towards school.
- Safeguarding concerns.
- Unsupported learning habitats at home, health and medical needs.
- Vocabulary has been a limiting factor in some tests.
