School Development

Systematic school development planning underpins effective practice and is essential to ensuring high standards and ongoing school improvement. The starting point for this process is to gain thorough understanding of previous and current practice. The review process is always tailored to the specific needs of the school.

We offer a full school review process which may include:

  • Review of current systems and practice
  • Review of classroom practice and performance
  • Assessment processes, use of tracking data and systems for monitoring processes
  • Audit of parental, staff and children’s expectations and perceptions
  • Lesson observation and evaluation of teaching standards
  • Resources and financial planning for best value

The next step is the identification of priorities for development and well-targeted advice and support to ensure effective outcomes.

This may include:

  • Guidance for the Leadership Team on prioritising and planning
    Strategies for effective learning & teaching
  • Developing a thorough understanding of curriculum requirements and the rationale behind teaching strategies
  • Guidance on financial planning and the development of resources
  • Development of systems for assessing learning & tracking achievement
  • Teacher development, mentoring and training
