The School Development Plan (SDP) is a strategic plan for improvement. It brings 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.

At Grand Avenue Primary and Nursery School, we work collaboratively with Senior Leaders, Governors, middle leaders, teachers, support staff, parents and pupils to determine what our key priorities are for the coming academic year.  We follow a clear process to determine what areas of the school need to be further developed as well as identifying areas of strength within the school.  By consulting all the key stakeholders within the school, the document is one that we all identify with and acts as a common goal that we are all striving to achieve.

The School Development Plan is not a fixed document. Rather, it is one that is flexible and adapts based on the needs of the school.  The SDP is reviewed by senior and middle leaders on a regular basis and updates are provided to staff to ensure that we are all aware of any outstanding actions.
