Bespoke support offer for schools
As part of the school effectiveness offer, schools can request support on a range of aspects of school improvement. This bespoke service can be purchased at a preferential rate for members of the DBE Family of Schools.
Some examples of the support available include:
School self-evaluation review
School Improvement Plan review
Curriculum development and review
Subject leader development and audit
Governor readiness for inspection – key roles and responsibilities
Staffing structure enhancement – roles and job descriptions
Preparation for inspection
Audit of classroom practice
Audits of safeguarding practice
Support can be offered prior to Ofsted inspections, in order to discuss preparation and to assist with evaluation of current practice and areas for development. Support can also be offered to schools that may need help with post-inspection planning, in areas such as subject Leadership and curriculum design or development.
These are not exhaustive and exemplify themes which could be delivered. School leaders are invited to contact Mark Whitehill with any requests for support, so that clarity can be assured over the design of any brokered support and the methodology and time needed to ensure effective delivery.
