School Improvement
School Improvement at Treales CE Primary School
At Treales Church of England Primary School, everything we do is guided by our Christian vision:
Equipped by God; We Are Mighty
We believe every child is uniquely created by God and equipped with gifts, strengths, and potential. Our responsibility is to nurture these so that all children flourish academically, personally, and spiritually. Our school improvement priorities for this academic year reflect this belief and align closely with Ofsted expectations and SIAMS inspection.
How School Improvement Supports Your Child
School improvement is how we ensure Treales continues to grow and improve for the benefit of every child.
This year, our priorities focus on:
High-quality teaching and learning
Strong foundations in reading, writing, and maths
Children’s personal development, wellbeing, and character
Living out our Christian vision every day
These areas directly reflect the Ofsted inspection framework and are monitored by school leaders, governors, and external partners.
Quality of Education
Our Focus This Year
We are strengthening teaching and learning so that all pupils make strong progress, including children with SEND, disadvantaged pupils, and those who need extra challenge.
Teachers use adaptive teaching so lessons meet different needs
Learning is carefully sequenced so knowledge builds over time
Assessment helps teachers plan the next steps quickly
Extra support and intervention remove barriers to learning
What this means for your child
