School Improvement Plan

Below is a summary of our comprehensive and highly devolved School Improvement Plan (SIP) for 2022-23. All senior and middle leaders are invited to contribute to the SIP which is built around our ethos: Intellect, Empathy and Courage.

Intellect

  • A continued emphasis on Literacy, both in terms of disciplinary and the primary skills of reading, writing and oracy

  • Instilling a strong sense of intellectual curiosity in our students,in line with the IBDP Learner Profile, which encourages learning for learning's sake

  • Teaching and Learning remaining the key concern for our staff, with a commitment to deimplementing barriers which distract from that

  • A data-based, coordinated approach to intervention, based on robust assessment informed by a school wide use of 4Matrix

  • Ongoing peer support through the encouragement of the GROW coaching model, helping staff to find solutions and unlock potential

Empathy

  • Personalisation remaining a key component of our teaching practice, with Class Context Sheets ensuring staff have a strong awareness of individual needs

  • A range of student and staff led societies ensure that student voice continues to educate school leaders in our commitment to an inclusive BGS community 

  • Safeguarding all students is a fundamental priority for the school, and includes against discrimination and / or harassment  in any form

  • Our Pupil Premium Group continues to grow due to our commitment to widening participation and initiatives such as our FSM breakfast

  • Sustainability and care of the planet continues to evolve, building on the work of our EAG and and a commitment to ending single use plastic in school

courage

  • Staff and students have growth mindsets and evolve to the changing role of technology in education, in particular the role of AI and the future of digital exams

  • BGS students take pride in their appearance and high standards of behaviour, with all staff acting in a consistent fashion to uphold these expectations

  • The achievements of female students at BGS continue to be a cause for celebration, from sports to STEM as well as academic success 

  • The school ensures that it is beyond compliant with all measures related to security; site security, cyber-security and high standards of professionalism

  • Self-evaluation, as departments and practitioners, is a constructive tool for professional development and maintaining wellbeing
