How well are we achieving our aims

In order to assess how well the schools are meeting the aims of their curricula, a quality assurance framework is in place.

The key features of this are the following:

Moderation and standardisation of our assessment data, both in-school and externally
Assessment systems which give national benchmarking data, such as NTS tests and writing assessments.
Regular monitoring of the quality of education by the Senior Leadership Team and external advisors, including reviewing the curriculum intent, monitoring the sequence/scheme of learning in different subjects, 'pupil book study', visits to lessons, talking to teachers and talking to pupils.
Half-termly School Improvement Visits by the Trust.
Read, Write Inc. monitoring visits
Regular monitoring and analysis of attendance data
Pupil surveys
Parent surveys
Staff wellbeing surveys
Curriculum progress meetings
Analysis of termly data
Analysis of behaviour and pastoral information
