Strategic Plan - Kingsview School, Frankton, Queenstown

Strategic Goal 1
Roll growth

History/Baseline
The roll has grown steadily throughout the year, with major growth occuring in the junior end of the school. The senior classroom was discontinued at the end of the year. The two remaining senior pupils will receive individualised programmes in 2014. A roll projection spreadsheet has been developed and is presented to the Board at each of its meetings. A marketing sub-committee has been established. It was critical to begin 2014 with 26 pupils for resourcing purposes, which has been achieved. Current premises were refurbished in 2010/2011. Operational experience since then and the addition of a pre-school suggest that once the roll grows beyond 50 firm plans will need to be in place to shift site as we will quickly outgrow the site.
Performance Targets
To grow the school to approximately 50 pupils on the current site, focusing particularly on new entrants and to continue exploring site shift options.

National Standards

KingsView has pupils enrolled in Years 1-8, the Board of Trustees, with the Principal and teaching staff, is required to use National Standards to:

a) Report to pupils and their parents on the pupil’s progress and achievement in relation to National Standards. Reporting to parents in plain language in writing must be at least twice a year;

b) Report school-level data in the Board’s Annual Report on National Standards under three headings:

i. School strengths and identified areas for improvement;

ii. The basis for identifying areas for improvement; and

iii. Planned actions for lifting achievement.

c) Report in the Board’s Annual Report on:

i.The numbers and proportions of pupils at, above, below or well below the standards, including by Maori, Pasifika and by gender (where this does not breach an individual’s privacy); and

ii. How pupils are progressing against the standards as well as how they are achieving.

Each Board of Trustees is required to complete an annual update of the School Charter for each school it administers, and provide the Secretary for Education with a copy of the updated School Charter before 28 January of the relevant year.

Strategic Goal 3
Student Achievement – Writing

History/Baseline
2013 student achievement data indicated 94.5% of students are achieving the National Standard in writing. However, this conceals the number of pupils who are at significant risk of not achieving who do not appear in the data due to being in the early years of school. Student voice and teacher feedback has identified five pupils who are at risk of not achieving in writing. Unless targeted programs are implemented and progress is made, these pupils are at risk of not achieving the standard by the end of the year.
Performance Targets
For the 5 students at risk of performing below the national standard in writing in years 1-3 and one Year 8 students below the standard to make at minimum of 1 sub curriculum level shift by the end of 2014.
