Reflect - what got us here?

  • Effort, commitment, time, energy
  • Motivated children
  • Supportive parents
  • Can-do culture
  • Team effort - whole school
  • Adaptability
  • Moving quickly

Remember ..

  • Outstanding results
  • Accept that you are doing well
  • Don't swan around like billy big potatoes
these results are outstanding - Ofsted will want to see why - get yourselves organised and battle ready. have good routines and be confident of your work

we haven't got here by resting on our laurels

we ant a can-do culture

we want to work for the kids and push them out of poverty -

I said 4 and half years ago when I joined that I wanted staff here with a commitment to improve above all - don't be thinking you have made it

Limits to improvement

  • Physical: health; intellect
  • Mental: belief; commitment; motivation
  • Technical: resources; technology
  • Environmental: social class; poverty; location

We can remove the barriers...

  • Planning
  • Preparation
  • Delivery
  • Motivation
  • Belief

No limits

  • Behaviour is malleable
  • Boundaries to achievement are rarely defined by fact
  • Motivation is key
  • Incremental progress can be achieved
