Performance
GLD (Good Level of Development) and Phonics Screening Check Results
We want all children to be confident and successful learners who achieve the very best they can. We treat all children as individuals, carefully monitoring their progress and planning next steps on their learning journey. All staff are dedicated and committed, ensuring that children receive the best education they can.
Children’s progress is monitored regularly and updated on our tracking system each half term.
We report children’s achievements through Parents’ Evenings and in the annual written school report.
Challenge Partners
Cheam Common Infants takes part in the national Challenge Partners programme. The programme helps ‘good’ and ‘outstanding’ schools with their monitoring and evaluation procedures, gives senior leaders the opportunity to become national specialist leaders of education (SLEs) and provides outstanding continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities for all staff. Challenge Partners enables our school to provide significant support to other schools locally, across London and nationally as well.
"Teaching across the school is consistent and well planned. Adults explain new learning clearly and provide structured support that enables pupils to succeed. This was evident in phonics sessions, where staff demonstrate strong fidelity to the RWI programme. Strategies such as repetition, retrieval and dual coding help pupils acquire phonemes and graphemes rapidly. Pupils build reading fluency quickly and are well prepared for the next stages of learning."
