School Progress Plan
Over the last three years, Sherborne House School has been working on a number of key initiatives as part of the School Progress Plan. These include the development of:
• Talk for Writing in English
• Learning Powers
• Progressive calculation strategies in Maths
• Swivl video recording and coaching
Sherborne House have recently undertaken a series of activities to evaluate its provision. As part of this, the school reached out to those closest to the school - our parents, pupils and staff - to understand areas of strength and particular points for development. The findings have been incorporated into a School Progress Plan.
Over the next academic year, Sherborne House will be focusing on three key areas which are aligned with our mission and
will support us in bringing our vision to life. The three key areas are:
Progress against 2019-2020 Targets
- The successful roll out and expansion of our award-winning Nursery provision
- Maintenance of a robust and responsive online and key worker provision to ensure continuity of education
- Development of reporting structures to ensure full understanding and visibility of each child’s learning
- The development of Senior Schools Evening
- Further investment in Chromebook technology to enhance learning
