At Bevois Town Primary School, we are keen to ensure every learner achieves the best possible progress; personally, emotionally and socially as well as academically. In order to evaluate how well we are doing and continue to improve, we aim to understand what it really means to be a learner at Bevois Town. We measure our effectiveness through the eyes of our children and actively seek and listen to their views.  Equally, we feel it is important the children understand and share our priorities for improvement and how they can learn with, from and on behalf of one another to help make Bevois Town the best it can be.
