Primary School Improvement Programme | 2017-18
Primary School Improvement Programme | 2017-18 Aims The programme aims to:
Strengthen schools’ self-evaluation and improvement planning procedures. Build school leaders’ capacity to drive improvement. Equip school leaders with an up-to-date, in depth understanding of inspection today. Provide access to a wide range of outstanding system leaders that can support and complement schools’ own improvement activities.
Unlike traditional school improvement packages, we aim to bring together the power of dynamic collaboration between schools, the training from people with current expertise in leading and inspecting schools and a shared commitment to building capacity for a school-led, self-improving system.
Programme Content Effectiveness Review This is a day and half review led by our Senior Associate for Inspection, supported by up to four trained senior leaders from participating schools. The Effectiveness Review will focus on three areas set by the school: a strength, an area that is improving and an area of weakness. The resulting report will provide a robust, grade-free evaluation with clear recommendations.
Data Review To underpin the Effectiveness Review, schools will be provided with an in-depth, half day, data review, benchmarking their own data with similar schools.
Review Training Senior leaders will be trained in how to undertake rigorous Effectiveness Reviews. This one-day training will combine the rigorous standards of Ofsted Inspection with the supportive, collaborative approach of the Dartmoor TSA. Once trained, senior leaders will be able to participate in Effectiveness Reviews.
Termly School Improvement Briefing School leaders and governors will have access to termly, two-hour briefing sessions that will include:
Inspection updates. Hot seating exercise with heads. NLE and other expert presentations.
Programme Delivery Team Neil Swait Senior Associate for Inspection. Neil is a former Primary Head and has undertaken school improvement services across schools in the SW.
Jon Lunn Senior Associate for Performance. Jon is Director of Performance for the Ted Wragg MAT.
National Leaders of Education NLEs will be used to support the programme.
Programme Fees £1780 for member schools. Reduced rates available for Federations of small schools. £1980 for non- member schools.
