School Self Evaluation

Each year at Morningside, we use a wide range of evidence to evaluate all areas of school life as part of our continuing improvement journey.

Self Evaluation Summary 2024-25

Overall Effectiveness Grade: 1	Excellent teaching, a broad and balanced curriculum combine to give pupils at Morningside outstanding outcomes. Leaders strive to ensure that we give our learning community a wide range of positive experiences that prepare them exceptionally well for the next stage in their education. Groups are monitored systematically and the school ensures that no child is held back as strategies are in place to allow all pupils to make rapid progress.
Quality of Education Grade: 1	The quality of education provided is excellent. Pupils’ education is based on expertly designed curriculum plans for each subject, which are well thought out and connected across the year groups. It is regularly reviewed to ensure that it is inspiring, relevant and reflects and expands the life experiences of our school community. Pupils develop the deep knowledge and understanding they need for the next stage in their education. Reading, writing and the development of excellent communication skills are prioritised.
Behaviour and Attitudes Grade: 1	The behaviour and attitudes of pupils demonstrate their high levels of respect for each other and creates a school environment where difference is valued, tolerance shown and bullying is never tolerated. The expectations of pupils are consistently high. Children work hard in lessons because teachers expect the best from them. There is consistency in our approach of creating a culture of excellent behaviour. Attendance is in line with national expectations.
Personal Development Grade: 1	The school is inclusive and nurturing. Provision for SMSC is outstanding as the school goes beyond the expected, so that pupils have access to a wide, rich set of experiences allowing pupils to develop their talents and interests.
Leadership & Management Grade: 1	School leaders have sustained excellence over time and have the ambition and capacity to continue this journey. The school is ever improving the curriculum being provided to all pupils, including personalised curriculums for pupils with complex needs. The school has rigorous safeguarding procedures and places high importance on pupil safety.
Quality of Education in Early Years Grade: 1	Children make excellent progress from low starting points. Good systems are in place to assess and there is clear focus on progress both for individual children and through the EYFS. Teaching is highly effective and high quality interactions ensure children develop their language skills, creativity, empathy, communication and confidence.
