Top Five Targets
Communication Communication between parents/guardians, the governing body and school staff is key to bringing alive the vision for Benchill Primary School. Improved communication is one of the key targets. Accessibility to parents/guardians Understanding the concerns and ambitions of parents/guardians is key to a thriving school. This should be followed by appropriate actions. This is our second key target. Accessibility to children Children are at the centre of a thriving school. The Benchill Primary School governing body wishes to become more responsive to the needs of its pupils. They are the ones best able to tell us if their school is as good as should be and are a key partner in raising standards. This is our third key target.
Monitoring Progress Benchill Primary School has a well thought out plan of action to raise standards across the school. This is key to making Benchill Primary School successful. The governing body, as its fourth key target, is committed to working with and supporting the school in delivering the action plan for the benefit of all its children. Broadening Horizons The governing body is committed to broadening horizons of the children of Benchill Primary School. One way of doing this is through understanding other cultures. Within the governing body, there are links to schools in Africa. These links will be used to enrich the children's horizons and their citizenship skills. Headteachers Vision "My vision for Benchill Primary School is to make it one of the leading primary schools within Manchester. I am passionate about Benchill Primary School and my aim is to ensure every child has the opportunity to reach his or her potential. One of the key foundations to this aim is to ensure that behaviour throughout the school is improved to allow effective learning. I want to create an atmosphere of enjoyable achievement. My vision is that every child, parent/guardian, member of staff, Governor and friend of Benchill Primary School should be proud of what we achieve over this academic year and the years to come. We are at a pivotal point in Benchill Primary Schools' journey to success. There is great enthusiasm for Benchill Primary's future across all parts of the school's community. By working together as one team we will be able to achieve great success. I hope you can join me in making Benchill Primary School one of the best primary schools within Manchester".
