The Bateman Primary School Business Plan for 2020 to 2022 has been inspired from the lessons learnt from the previous plan and feedback gained from the school-based and Board surveys of parents, pupils and staff during 2019. In developing this Plan the Board and school have utilised available data on student performance and strategic imperatives of the Department of Education as outlined in its Strategic Plan and Focus documents.

At Bateman Primary we share an Underlying Belief that every child has the capacity to excel in whatever they choose and that it is our role to provide our children with the tools to unlock and realise their full potential. To be successful in this we will focus on just three core Values; “Excellence, Whole Child and Community”. By creating a balance between these Values we will deliver on Our Vision.

To enable successful implementation of Our Vision and to provide a method for monitoring and measuring to ensure continual improvement we will focus our planning on the following six focus areas, which also support our Values:

1. Leadership

2. Teaching Quality

3. The Learning Environment

4. Student Achievement and Progress

5. Use of Resources

6. Relationships and Partnership
