Alleyn's School Development Plan

Alleyn's School Development Plan (SDP) seeks to implement the School's vision and uphold the underlying values. It is therefore important to read the Development Plan in relation to, and alongside, the paper on the 'Vision & Values' of the School. The SDP includes a table showing how it is linked to, and seeks to implement, these aspects of the School's vision.

Alleyn's recent School Development Plans are written as working documents and were first produced in September 2006. They are not written for a fixed period of time but are intended to be revised and updated annually showing yearly progress and subsequent on-going plans.

The 'School Development Plan for the current year 2010 -11' and a full and detailed Audit of Progress and Achievement 2009-10 are also available. Please note that the booklet of last year's audit of progress and achievement is written in the style of a stand-alone document without the need for constant cross-referencing back to the previous year.

Alleyn's SDP is in five sections and outlines the key objectives in each of the main areas of School life. It uses three kinds of aims/goals
• On-going aims - which are assessed and, if appropriate, updated annually
• Short-term goals (the next 2 years) - the intention is to achieve these by the end of 2012
• Medium/long-term goals (the next 3 to 5 years) - aiming to achieve these by about 2013-2015

School Development Plan (2010 -11) Summary of Contents (Please see download for more details

• Introduction
• How the School Development Plan is linked to Alleyn's Vision
• Section 1: General - strategic management
• Section 2: Learning and Teaching
• Section 3: People (pupils, staff, parents)
• Section 4: Resources - capital projects, premises, ICT and grounds
• Section 5: External relations

The Senior Management Team (SMT) has collective responsibility for implementing and monitoring the SDP.

It is expected that, for each sub-section, the colleague responsible will ensure that appropriate and regular consultation is used throughout the academic year to monitor, implement and update each aim or goal and to develop new aims/goals.

There is also a summary Action Plan for the current academic year, based on the full School Development Plan: 

  • This Action Plan, based on the detailed School Development Plan (SDP), lists some of the main measurable targets for each of the five sections of the SDP, together with timescales and details of personnel accountable.
  • This Action Plan is intended to be a brief outline of the main targets that will be addressed during the academic year, listing timescales and personnel responsible for implementing the actions. Though it is the intention to implement all the aims and goals detailed in the full SDP, this brief Action Plan sets out a priority and a focus for action. In other words, this Action Plan sets out the priorities and initial focus in seeking to implement the whole SDP.
  • When the targets listed are taken directly from the SDP they are listed using their SDP reference (e.g. Short-term goal (d), etc). If the Action Plan entry is not taken directly from the SDP then no reference is given.
