Sully as a Learning Organisation
At Sully Primary school we recognise the importance of engaging all staff in continuous professional learning. As such:
- New staff receive induction and mentoring support.
- Professional learning is focused on student learning and school goals.
- Staff are fully engaged in identifying the aims and priorities for their own professional learning.
- Professional learning challenges thinking as part of changing practice.
- Professional learning connects work-based learning and external expertise.
- Professional learning is based on assessment and feedback.
- Time and other resources are provided to support professional learning.
- The school’s culture promotes and supports professional learning.
Current examples of the ways in which this can be seen in action are as follows:
- Mrs Bridge, Mrs Chinneck and Mrs Barlow continue to develop their HLTA roles within the school and are effectively covering teacher’s planning, preparation and assessment (PPA) time on a weekly basis.
- HLTA, Mrs Thomas, is leading on the day to day running of the Nursery assisted by our Deputy Headteacher Miss Harries.
- Mrs Morgan, Mr Jarvis and Mrs Gorwill hold senior management positions within the school and work within the SMT to ensure our school continues to develop and thrive.
- Sully PS is a Partnership School with Cardiff Met University and The University of South Wales. As well as hosting student teachers from both universities, we also delivery training on a variety of pedagogical areas for up to 20 students, assisting them with their pedagogical awareness and approach to action research.
- All staff are undertaking learning opportunities linked to our current School Improvement Plan.
- Mr Jarvis recently completed his Masters in Education.
- Mrs Davies recently completed her Middle Level Leaders Qualification
- Miss Harries recently completed her National Professional Qualification for Headteachers
