Strategic Indicators
‘Every child and young person must be supported to learn and grow in an environment that is inspiring, inclusive and aspirational. Evidence shows that when children and young people feel safe and well, their sense of belonging improves, which enables them to learn. For this reason we will measure our impact in four key areas:
Learning: Strengthened educational outcomes
Belonging: Increased identification with school
Equity: Greater equity between all learners
Wellbeing: Improved indicators of wellbeing
