At Ash Hill Primary School, we've made significant strides in improving student progress and attainment, evidenced by a rise in L4+ maths from 39% in 2006 to 74% in 2010. While we acknowledge that CVA is still below 100, we are committed to raising the standards of teaching. Since Spring 2009, all teaching has met at least satisfactory standards, with most being good or outstanding. Our initiatives include high expectations, consistent staff development, increased parental involvement, and fostering a strong learning culture. We celebrate achievements with our Learning Champions program, focusing on continuous improvement.
