Our School Priorities 2025/26

Our School Priorities

At Luckwell, we’re always looking for ways to make learning even better for every child. This year, our priorities focus on continuing to raise standards, strengthen our curriculum, and ensure all pupils thrive.

Mathematics
We’re working to raise attainment in maths so that our results are at least in line with national averages. Teachers are using assessment to adapt lessons and make sure all pupils — including the most able — are challenged and confident in reasoning and problem-solving.

Writing
We aim to raise attainment in writing so that standards match or exceed national expectations. Teachers are using assessment carefully to plan next steps and ensure children make strong progress in their writing skills.

Supporting Disadvantaged Pupils
We’re focused on improving outcomes for our disadvantaged pupils. This includes using pupil premium funding effectively, closely monitoring progress, and supporting subject leaders to make sure every pupil achieves their best.

Curriculum Development
We’re embedding retrieval and quizzing activities in subjects such as Art, DT, Computing, and RE. This helps children remember key knowledge and apply it with confidence. We’re also using our “Golden Essays” to help pupils show deeper understanding and make links across their learning.

Attendance
We’re working to improve attendance so that it meets or exceeds national averages, with a particular focus on supporting pupils with SEND and those eligible for pupil premium.

Personal Development
We continue to provide a strong programme of personal development, enhanced by enrichment opportunities across the Excalibur Trust — including links with our partner secondary schools.

Tracking and Progress
We carefully track pupil outcomes and identify any barriers to learning to ensure every child makes at least expected progress from their starting point.
