SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN PRIORITIES 1) Continue to improve attainment in Literacy and Numeracy for all learners. 2) Continue to build and develop a sense of identity for the new Hilltop learning community, focusing on the strengthening of relationships with pupils, parents and staff. 3) To develop a programme for Health and Wellbeing that is adaptive to the needs of all children. 4) Developing more consistent and accurate Assessment and Moderation procedures across the school and cluster.
- 21. Nursery Children are all very settled and enjoying their new indoor and outdoor learning environments. The main area of development is Loose Parts Play. Loose parts are materials that can be moved, carried, combined, redesigned, lined up, and taken apart and put back together in multiple ways. They are materials with no specific set of directions that can be used alone or combined with other materials. Loose parts can be natural or synthetic. The staff are working together to develop the playrooms and incorporate real life contexts into the children’s learning. We are trying to establish a Parent/Carer group to support with developing our outdoor environment.
