SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2017-2018

AMWELL VIEW SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2017-18 What is a School Development Plan? The School Development Plan (SDP) aims to provide Staff, Parents, Governors and associated professionals with a clear document that shows what the school intends to focus on for the next three academic years. The long term vision is summarised in the 2017/18 plan. How is it developed? During the Spring Term the staff group is consulted about the priorities for the School Development Plan. Contributions are discussed at a full staff meeting and also forwarded to the Senior Leadership Team. In addition subject leaders provide action plans to inform the development of individual subjects. When does it start? The Plan comes into operation in April of each year and finishes in March, the following year. The time scale matches the financial year and therefore the SDP is more easily linked to budget preparation and outcomes. How is it monitored? At the beginning of each term the Improvement Plan is checked for progress by the Senior Leadership Team. Who approves the SDP? The Governing body is responsible for the approval and effectiveness of the SDP. The SDP is also required to be shared with Hertfordshire Education Authority. JSL/April 2016
