How much time do you need to spend in school and how many students, members of staff will be involved?

Prior to the visit we will send you a link to an online survey and ideally this will be completed by all students. Many schools find it helpful to assign a designated slot e.g. part of an ICT lesson for students to complete the questions.

We will need to visit the school for up to a day. We will do whatever we can to fit in with your timetable to carry out the following activities:

  • meeting with the SLT (for 1 hour)
  • holding individual interviews with 4 colleagues (each interview 30 minutes)
  • carrying out an interactive and developmental focus group with 6-10 colleagues (1 hour)
  • observing any other teaching and learning/CPD activities as appropriate. This might include sitting in on a CPD session, observing a SLT meeting or doing a learning walk.
