Each year we work hard on the issues that matter most. Through analysis of data, conversations with teachers, children, governors, parents and other stakeholders together with analysis of surveys and quesionnaires, we produce a School Improvement Plan that highlights in detail the key focus areas for the school and provides both ourselves and the Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership Trust with a clear overview of current priorities that can be worked on together. This is then reviewed in December, March and July and actions agreed for the following term. We pride ourselves at Welton in ensuring everyone is involved and is clear about the work that we do. For this reason we believe it is important that parents and visitors to this website can also engage in our plans so if you would like to see a copy of this year's plan, please make let us know.

In 2025-2026 our overarching main school improvement priorities are:

• Further development of whole school oracy and vocabulary

• Enuring consistency of approach with handwriting and spelling

• Problem solving and application of arithmetic skills in Maths

• Development of the Welton wider curriculum with a continued focus on implementation, scaffolding, challenge, vocabulary and assessment.

• Development of Outdoor Play And Learning (OPAL) and Forest School refining our Personal Development offer, including PE. 

• Further support for our disadvantaged pupils with a focus on SEND and PP progress across all aspects of learning.

• Develop a sense of belonging through the development of positive relationships and an understanding of how behaviour expresses need.

• Review lead learners

• Reviewing Sanctions and Rewards

• Developing and embedding THRIVE wellbeing programme

• Continue to prioritise school attendance and support for families to ensure children are in school on time every day.
