--- title: "Agile Sprints" url: "https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/about-us/agile-sprints" school: "Kidsgrove Secondary" --- # Agile Sprints At Kidsgrove Secondary School we have taken a new and fresh approach to school improvement. We are utilising piratical strategies to develop our wonderful school community. We are utilising '**agile planning'**, which sees the staff sprinting to make fast and effective change linked to our whole school priorities. This is much like a speed boat compared to an oil tanker. The use of smaller teams to bring about a faster pace of improvement. ![](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/images/ba52sala.png) We ask for colleagues to lead sprints by holding scrum meetings and using agile techniques to make improvements based on our whole school improvement priorities. Each scrum has a focus which impacts the school's direction and makes sure that we are providing the best that we can for the students. These range from teaching and learning foci to how to continue to develop our achievement culture. The scrum masters take on this responsibility to make the changes needed so that we see rapid and sustainable change come into effect. **Please see below a slideshow of a few of our achievements using sprints so far..** ### About Us - [Key Information at a Glance](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/about-us/key-information-and-links) - [Our Ethos and Values](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/about-us/Key-Information) - [Agile Sprints](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/about-us/agile-sprints) - [British Values](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/about-us/british-values) - [Student Core Values](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/about-us/core-values) - [Digital Strategy](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/about-us/digital-strategy) - [Exam Information](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/about-us/Key-Information/exam-information) - [Funding Grants](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/about-us/Key-Information/covid-19-catch-up-information) - [Academy Council (Governance)](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/about-us/Key-Information/academy-council) - [Ofsted Report](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/about-us/key-information/ofsted-report) - [Policies](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/about-us/policies) - [Pupil Premium](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/about-us/key-information/pupil-premium) - [Special Educational Needs](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/about-us/Key-Information/send) - [Shaw Education Trust](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/about-us/shaw-education-trust) - [Staff List](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/about-us/staff-list) - [Student Leadership](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/about-us/student-leadership) - [Teaching & Learning](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/about-us/Key-Information/teaching-learning) [Embedded content](https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2395.9088112875525!2d-2.235221583943237!3d53.093872651292834!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x487a5cb446aa8fef%3A0xe54ed1bfe6407685!2sThe%20Kidsgrove%20Secondary%20School!5e0!3m2!1sen!2suk!4v1673868066899!5m2!1sen!2suk) **Kidsgrove Secondary** Gloucester Road Kidsgrove Staffordshire ST7 4DL Tel: 01782 948250 Email: [![Shaw Education Trust](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/images/logo/set-misc/footer-logo-v1.png)](https://shaw-education.org.uk) **Shaw Education Trust** Kidsgrove Secondary School Gloucester Road Kidsgrove ST7 4DL VAT: GB 358822467 Tel: 01782 948259 Email: Company Number: 09067175 ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/kidsgrovesecondary/) © Copyright 2022–2026 Kidsgrove Secondary School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://kidsgrovesecondary.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
