The School Development Plan (SDP) is a three-year strategic plan prepared by the School Management Committee to improve the school. It combines the school's priorities, measures to raise standards, dedicated resources, and intended outcomes and targets. The SDP emphasizes that school improvement is the responsibility of each school. Schools are best positioned to identify improvement areas and implement changes to achieve better pupil outcomes. Regular self-evaluation must be part of the SDP process, with resulting actions and targets included in the plan. The SDP components include enrollment estimates, infrastructure/equipment/teacher requirements, additional financial needs, substitute teacher arrangements, and education rehabilitation plans.

3. CONCEPT
 The School Development Plan (SDP) is a strategic
plan for improvement.
 It should bring together, in a clear and simple
way, the school priorities, the main measures it will
take to raise standards, the resources dedicated to
these, and the key outcomes and targets it intends
to achieve.
 The ‘Every School a Good School' policy
emphasises that school improvement is first and
foremost the responsibility of the school.

4.  It is based on the premise that schools themselves
are best placed to identify areas for improvement and to
implement changes that bring about better outcomes
for pupils.
 School improvement is most likely to be sustained
when a school establishes a culture of aspiration and a
commitment to promoting regular and robust self-
evaluation.
 Self-evaluation must be an integral part of the school
development planning process with the resulting actions
and targets captured in school development plans
(SDPs).
