Consult, monitor and evaluate
Code of Practice Statement: Ask pupils, parents and carers, teachers and volunteers to help the school judge how well it is doing, and plan how to improve its service.
GOLD STANDARD: The supplementary school has an annual cycle of ongoing monitoring, evaluation and planning, involving everyone.
You may wish to include:
- recent student/staff/parent meetings (showing involvement in developing policies and procedures)
- set of three or four staff/management minutes (need to show consultation that has taken place, the monitoring of services, reports on feedback and next years plan)
- lesson plans x 3 (teachers comments on how the lesson went, future changes/adaptations)
- reports (reports on consultation meetings with parents and pupils, reports from staff and volunteers, reports from the co-ordinator on how many children are attending, what they are learning, achievements and progress)
- one or two annual reports, newsletters or school magazine (plans for the future, based on what parents and pupils want)
- teacher observations.
