Does your SDP clearly set out how to review the impact of your actions? How effective are your school self-review activities? What is the impact on staff workload and well-being? If you'd like to talk about how I can support you with this please get in touch.

Some interesting views here.

Always ❤️

@mike_glavin I’d be very interested to know how it goes

@tob22 Thank you! Schools seem to need it so working with three schools to create the tool they find useful.

In Bristol developing a tool for schools in Wales and a tool for schools in England. It helps - evaluate provision - identify cross curriculum opportunities - ensure curricular statutory requirements are met - identify gaps in provision - bring clarity to what is taught/ when.

Interesting differences

What’s your favourite model of school to school peer review?

How many have you already ticked off the teacher summer bingo card?

I've written a children's book. I think it's pretty cool: based on walks in the the woods with my daughters. Fairy tale meets neolithic weirdness with hard choices about how to grow up.
