We provide friendly, experienced professionals who will support your school to improve the services provided to, and the results of, the learners in your education setting.
The aim of our SIP team is to:
- contribute to whole-school improvement.
- provide challenge and support for the senior management team.
- provide information to a governing body on their school's performance and development.
Our SIPs will:
- Discuss, assess and comment on the effectiveness of a school's self evaluation and school improvement plan against available evidence including the Ofsted report.
- Review the school's performance data: recent national test results, trends over time, other pupil achievement data, and analysing the evidence for the school's improvement.
- Discuss the school's targets and priorities for the coming year, based on the analysis of the data above, to ensure that they are ambitious but realistic.
- Challenge the school where necessary, particularly on its capacity to improve and whether it is focusing on the most important priorities for improvement and development.
- Report the outcomes of the "Single Conversation" to the school's Governing Body and the head teacher.
- Provide advice and guidance to the governing body to inform the performance management of the head teacher.
What does this look like?
- Typically between 5 & 6 one day visits a year.
- This includes Headteacher appraisal meetings.
- Looking at:
- Data
- Teaching & Learning
- Pastoral Services
- Leadership.
Every visit is supported by a Note of Visit as a written record of what was discussed during the day.
