How we seek to implement school improvement priorities
Someries Infant School and Early Childhood Education Centre is driven by evidence-informed school development and – as an organisation – is underpinned by a culture of continual improvement and collaborative learning. We actively engage with the Education Endowment Foundation’s implementation framework when identifying and implementing school improvement initiatives.
Our current school development priorities
