Literacy: The target of 10% was surpassed, with the result of 17.5%

Summary of main areas requiring
 improvement as identified in last SSE

Literacy: Some confusion around the administration was voiced by teachers. A more streamlined approach to the administration of literacy evaluation is needed.
Numeracy: as identified from testing, fractions and decimals fell below the improvement target and are in need of further work.

Improvement targets (related to student
 achievement)

Our target for improvement in both literacy and numeracy is 10%

Required actions (related to Teaching and learning
 that will help to achieve the targets)

Literacy: as target has been met, continuation of present practice
Numeracy: A greater focus is required on promoting numeracy in all subject areas. All students will be asked to convert their results in class tests from fractions to percentages or vice-versa.
