Training at Sheringdale
At Sheringdale we have developed a training offer for schools who are interested in further enhancing their practice, particularly schools who have strong outcomes at the expected level who want to expand provision and outcomes at greater depth.
This is an area we have been working on over time and across the curriculum. In English and Maths we have been able to increase the combined outcomes at KS2 GDS from 4% to 38% which is one of the highest scores in the country.
