The school development plan (SDP) is a strategic plan for improvement.
It should bring together, in a clear and simple way, the school’s priorities, the resources dedicated to these priorities and the key outcomes it intends to achieve.
It should be evidence-based.
It should be a living document that all members of staff will use as a reference point in evaluating, developing and improving their work.
The SDP should keep a close focus on pupils, their learning and improving the outcomes they achieve.
