Do you monitor us to see if improvements have been made?
We offer a follow-up service, which involves us visiting the school after two and a half terms to track your progress and offer advice.

Unlike (superficially) similar services, SKEIN:
The overall process tends to take about 6 weeks. We try to allow for around 3 weeks before the visit to collect and analyse school documentation, agree the schedule for the visit and provide all staff with an opportunity to respond to our on-line survey.
We will need to visit the school to interview the leadership team and some individual staff members and hold a focus group with staff. The numbers of staff involved will depend on the size of your school. The SLT interview will take 60-90 minutes, the individual interviews will take about 20 minutes and the focus group will take 60-90 minutes. We will suggest how to organise the day most efficiently, making the most of the timeslots when staff are not teaching and causing the least disruption to your normal operations.
None! We will use documents that are already in existence within the school. We will send some clear guidance about what we need so all the documents will be easy to assemble.
We understand that your time is very precious and endeavour to ensure the process takes up as little of your time as is possible. We will need to visit the school for up to one day and will use documents that will already exist within your school, so you will not have to create any paperwork. We recommend that you involve junior colleagues in e.g. assembling the documents or preparing a schedule for the visit day.
This is a bespoke service priced individually (depending, for instance, on the size of your school). As a broad guide, the service would cost from £1150 for primary schools or from £1500 for secondary schools. Please contact us to discuss the price for your school.
"It is vital that performance management leads to professional development which improves teaching and learning. This is a challenge for organisations in all sectors and why the work of CUREE and SKEIN is so important - tracking and reinforcing the connections between development and results across the school.”
