Ensure that the mechanisms for checking, training and support are fit for purpose.
Checks are sufficient, timely and used to inform L&M time, CPD and wider INSET needs of staff.
QA policy demarcates the split between core and non- core subjects to increase the frequency of non-core tasks.
Leaders’ time is spent in a balanced way to secure enough information to assure leaders, governors and external scrutineers of the quality of education. Following on, provide sufficient CPD to ensure new initiatives are supported well and that on-going agreed practice is consistently good.
Grow the responsibility of those who are well trained, including UPS staff, to develop the culture of learning among staff to keep the school consistently good. Governors’ role develops to a balance of both focussed visits (current practice) to working with leaders on implementation of the QA policy.
Leaders spend as much time working alongside staff as the time spent in formal monitoring. This will reduce the frequency of formal QA but provide a dialogue of professional support and challenge to impact upon daily practice. Governors increase the amount of time in classrooms, alongside leaders and staff, to supplement their already embedded focussed visits.
Evidence from the QA supports all aspects of the new EIF 2019.
Leaders provide in-school CPD for the support staff who, through their directed hours, do not attend twilight sessions.
On a rota-basis, linked to whole school initiatives or the QA information – provide 1hour CPD on specific aspects.
Non-teaching staff receive additional CPD to ensure best practice and value for money.
Twice a month on an agreed day – Monday L&M time.
