Strategic Goals Progress Report

Goals for 2016

Goal One

Improve the literacy level, particularly in writing, for boys.

• • Strategic Aim: To have 80% of year 2-6 at or above the National Standard in writing

  • Annual Goal 1. To improve the literacy level, particularly in boys, for writing.

  • Measurable Target: At the end of 2016 the percentage of boys assessed at below or well below in written language will be less than 60% for each year level.

Goal Two

To improve the reading level in the first two years of school.

Rationale

Many pupils who will turn 6 during this year look unlikely to be reading at level 5 at the end of their first year at school. Over 5.25% are still below PM Level 8 at the end of their second year at school.

We believe that improvements in the areas of Hearing and Recording Sounds in Words, Letter Identification, word identification and Concepts About Print are all areas that can be moved.

Measurable Targets

60% of children will achieve at stanine 4 or better in the HRSIW/letter id/word/cap section of the observational survey taken as close as practical to their 6th birthday.
