OUR SERVICES
Our range of school improvement support programmes are extensive. We adapt according to the brief and needs of our clients. Although we cover whole school, departmental and pre-inspection reviews and safeguarding reviews, our services do not exclusively fall into these categories. Contact us and we will see if we can help!
Whole School/Academy Reviews
Working with senior and middle leaders, we will support with identifying, developing and improving provision, including teaching and learning. We can provide the school with detailed information on how well it is doing and what needs to be improved. We can support you with actively engaging in the school improvement process in order to enhance students and teachers learning and achievement. We can offer reviews on a particular aspect of the schools work or a broader review, based on the initial brief. We work in partnership with senior leads so that they know the components of school improvement and are able to speak about aspects of the schools work to internal or external bodies.
Departmental/Faculty Reviews
Pre-Inspection Reviews
SEF Replacement – The New Self Review and Evaluation Summary
Update and replace your SEF with the new, simple Self Review and Evaluation Summary.
“The accuracy and clarity of the school’s self-evaluation helps to inform the inspectors’ initial view of the quality of leadership and management and the school’s capacity to improve.” Self Evaluation – Ofsted Guidance for Inspectors
The School SEF is no longer a requirement, but self-review and evaluation are still important for schools. Demonstrate a proactive approach to replacing your SEF when Ofsted visit with our new Self Review and Evaluation Summary.
• It is aligned to the four key areas of the new Ofsted Framework

Provide us with a copy of your existing School SEF and we will transfer the content into the new format, editing the content and making sure it goes into the right sections, or is removed if no longer applicable.
Safeguarding Reviews
Although safeguard monitoring was a requirement in Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) 2016 there was even more focus in the September 2018 update. “All school and college staff have a responsibility to provide a safe environment in which children can learn”. With our safeguarding review, The Federation of Independent Schools uses a comprehensive audit tool and provides an overview of safeguarding within your organisation, whilst confirming areas you may wish to focus upon to improve.
