Year 4 Key Actions and Targets

Year 4 Actions and Measures of Success

Year 4 Key Actions are broadly focused on developing the systems and conditions to empower leadership and staff with a shared vision of our values. Specifically, we will be identifying and designing ways to capture the data whether it be quantitative or qualitative measures to ensure that the work is moving forward and we have the ability to understand, react and refine our strategies. We will build on the UDL work begun in Year One and Year Two and create the expectations and structures so that we are teaching toward our Graduate Profile.
