Investors in People
We are currently working towards a prestigious quality award called Investors in Pupils.
Investors in Pupils (IIP) helps pupils find out about their school, the school budget and the jobs people do to ensure our school is the best place it can be. The award aims to support children in setting targets for their class and for themselves whilst recognising the importance of the roles and responsibilities of everyone involved in their education, and how they as pupils, can make a difference.
IIP is a whole-school approach to enable effective pupil participation and pupil voice across the school organisation and community and focuses on five main areas:
learning, induction, behaviour, attendance and classroom management.
Here are just a few examples of some of the things we have already introduced as part of IIP:
“Pupils appreciate the many sporting activities, competitions and clubs on offer.”
“You make learning fun so the children are interested.”
“Those with particular talents, and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are nurtured to achieve their very best.”
“Thank you so much for everything you have done, from teaching our children, to keeping them safe but also all the fun and laughter you have given them; every one of you is amazing!”
“You have given my daughter courage and her joy back. She is smiling at the start and end of every school day.”
“My child feels happy going to school everyday.”
“This is a happy, welcoming and inclusive school.”
“Children in the Reception class get off to a flying start. Children are learning and thriving.”
“Many pupils do special jobs, such as eco-warriors and reading ambassadors.”
“I like the community environment; it feels very inclusive and all the teachers and staff are friendly and approachable.”
“The school is aware of diversity and additional needs.”
“Staff have been fantastic. Especially in times of isolation and the understanding of situations and help and support they have offered.”
“This is a school where pupils can learn without being disrupted by the behaviour of others.”
“I value the caring, nurturing nature of the staff.”
“They get on well with each other and with the adults in school.”
“Thanks to all for keeping my son focused and happy at school.”
“Pupils are polite and chatty. They listen carefully and show respect to adults and each other.”
“The school is a safe and friendly environment.”
“Keep up the outstanding work you are doing.”
