In order for any school to continue to be successful or to improve further it is essential that rigorous evaluations and reviews take place. All staff at Studley High School are involved in evaluating areas including exam results, quality of teaching, rewards and behaviour systems as well as attendance and enrichment. On this page you will find our School Development Plan for 2025-26. The plan aims to focus on key areas we need to improve to enhance the experience for students and staff.
At Studley High School, we are committed to continuous improvement and excellence in all areas of school life. Our current strategic priorities are:
- Outstanding Curriculum Development
We aim to ensure that our curriculum remains outstanding, responsive to the Government’s forthcoming Curriculum and Assessment Review (expected Autumn 2025), and tailored to the unique context and needs of our students. - Excellent Attendance for All
We are focused on achieving excellent attendance across the school, recognising that every day in school matters for academic progress, wellbeing, and personal development. - Strengthening Data-Informed Practice
We are enhancing our use of data across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 to support targeted interventions, monitor student progress effectively, and drive continuous improvement in teaching and learning. - Raising Academic Attainment
Our goal is to ensure outstanding academic outcomes in 2025–2026 across all GCSE and Level 2 qualifications, with targets of 25% achieving grades 9–7, 70% achieving grades 9–5, and 85% achieving grades 9–4. - Embedding School Values and Skills
We are committed to embedding Studley High School’s values and core skills throughout the curriculum and wider school life, providing students with opportunities to grow personally, socially, and academically, while supporting staff in their professional development. - Enhancing Teaching and Learning
We continue to develop high-quality teaching and learning, with a particular focus on oracy, meaningful feedback, the effective use of AI, and ensuring appropriate challenge for all students. - Community Engagement
We are strengthening our role within both the local and wider community, actively seeking opportunities to participate in events and initiatives that enrich our students’ experiences and foster strong community connections.
