Learning Progress At Chesswood Middle School, we will make every effort to guarantee that every student enjoys their educational experience and achieves notable achievement.
We make it a priority to provide high levels of achievement for every child, regardless of need, since this will prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences of the present as well as those of secondary school and adult life in a world that is always changing.
Children's progress in classes and across time should be consistently positive, as is our goal.
While any students who run the risk of making slow progress or achieving low standards are quickly recognised and have efficient learning acceleration plans put in place.
High quality instruction, an authentic, pertinent, and engaging curriculum, and a strong, cooperative relationship between the home and the school are significantly responsible for ensuring good accomplishment and advancement.
All families are urged to prioritise their children's learning and development very highly since it is crucial for effective parenting to ensure that children are prepared for school and learning. The time and effort you put into your child during these formative years will pay you greatly in the long run.
Teaching Academic staff will continue to have high standards for each and every student.
Additionally, parents will be kept fully informed of their children's progress throughout the year, enabling them to participate completely as partners in their children's education.
Curriculum The curriculum will be extremely well-organized, flexible, and consistent.
Children will subsequently benefit from significant positive experiences and a wealth of opportunities for high-quality learning both inside and outside of the classroom, including our core curriculum, a highly flexible home learning programme, and our extensive and engaging extracurricular opportunities.
Furthermore, due to the high levels of engagement and its real and relevant nature the curriculum will maintain a very positive impact on all children's behaviour and safety.
Whilst contributing well to children's' academic achievement it will also significantly enhance spiritual, moral, social and cultural development aspects critically important to securing a fulfilled life and becoming a valued member of any community local, national and international.
Partnership We will strive to build and maintain consistently good relationships and proactive communication with families.
We will always work in partnership with parents, listen carefully to their needs and seek to support these wherever possible.
Leadership Ethos We will sustain a positive primary ethos highly focussed on securing the best possible child hood experiences at school whilst always buidling readiness for secondary education and being well prepared for securing employment in future.
Direction The leadership group will provide clear and well communicated educational direction ensuring the school has a vision, aims and objectives that underpin the future direction of the school and help it meet very high expectations.
They will maintain a forensic attention to detail that will in turn guide policy to meet statutory requirements and the very best practice in all areas of school life.
Governance Governance arrangements will ensure challenging scrutiny of the leadership group's work - securing public confidence in the work of the school and the maintenance of very high standards.
Partnership To support our determination to raise standards the leadership group, and school staff, will work in close partnership with all local schools by involvement in the East Worthing Schools Partnership.
Personnel We will endeavour to recruit and retain outstanding personnel, committed to making a real difference to children's lives, whilst at the same time robustly enforcing safe recruitment practices.
