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:
“This is a school where pupils can learn without being disrupted by the behaviour of others.”
“This is a happy, welcoming and inclusive school.”
“Children in the Reception class get off to a flying start. Children are learning and thriving.”
“My child feels happy going to school everyday.”
“Pupils are motivated and enjoy learning.”
“Pupils feel safe and well cared for.”
“Pupils appreciate the many sporting activities, competitions and clubs on offer.”
“Thanks to all for keeping my son focused and happy at school.”
“Many pupils do special jobs, such as eco-warriors and reading ambassadors.”
“Keep up the outstanding work you are doing.”
“The school is a safe and friendly environment.”
“Staff have been fantastic. Especially in times of isolation and the understanding of situations and help and support they have offered.”
“Those with particular talents, and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are nurtured to achieve their very best.”
“You have given my daughter courage and her joy back. She is smiling at the start and end of every school day.”
“I value the caring, nurturing nature of the staff.”
“I like the community environment; it feels very inclusive and all the teachers and staff are friendly and approachable.”
“You make learning fun so the children are interested.”
“The school is aware of diversity and additional needs.”
“They get on well with each other and with the adults in school.”
“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!”
“Pupils are polite and chatty. They listen carefully and show respect to adults and each other.”
