Rowner self-evaluates as a ‘good’ school with elements of ‘outstanding’ and is working hard to be even better. To help us achieve this, we have a School Improvement Plan to guide our school improvement. Additionally, each Subject Leader has a Development Plan outlining management and leadership tasks to ensure development in their subject and the delivery and attainment of good standards. School Improvement is monitored by the School Leadership Team – we all work collectively to ensure our reach is broad and focussed upon the Gosport learner.
