Academic Excellence
At Seaford, our tagline is “Love to Learn” chosen because this phrase was uttered so frequently in
interviews and our student voice surveys.
In the summer term, teachers ran class surveys and overwhelmingly students commented on the
excitement their teachers create, the passion they have for their subject or year phase, and the enthusiasm
they generate in the classroom. The impact of this was spotted by ISI when they visited in March 2023 stating
“pupils have an extremely positive attitude to their work; they learn to take responsibility for their actions
and are eager to learn.” We are incredibly lucky to have teachers and students who work so well together
supported by a fantastic group of parents.
Quality Assurance
We are not a school to rest on our laurels. Indeed,
as Mr Green often states, we need to “make
our strengths stronger”. In this vein, Heads of
Department have been visiting lessons over the past
half term and offering guidance and feedback to
the staff in their department. Heads of Department
noted a diverse array of strengths and excellent
teaching, and our staff are excellent at taking
feedback on board and tweaking their approach
to becoming even more effective. Next half term,
subject leads will be conducting Quality of Learning
Reviews in which staff will review books and
OneNote sections of the students to see the impact
their teaching has on your children and how we can
tweak these lessons to make them even better for
next year.
