School Development
Keep all the documentation for your school improvement cycle in one place and easily track how you’re progressing against your school and department priorities. Easy-to-use, flexible templates make building your SEF and SDP documents a breeze.
Our School Development Module caters for the full school improvement cycle, from gathering and analysing evidence of all aspects of school life through to the planning and implementation of actions to improve the outcomes for pupils and students. It provides the focus and control that senior leaders need.
It centres around a powerful custom form builder which can be used to create your School Evaluation Form (SEF) and School Development Plan (SDP) documents online and share them with the appropriate staff.
Both types of document can be created based around your education regime (Ofsted, Estyn, etc.) categories, your school’s own custom categories, or a mixture of the two. Once you’ve evaluated where your school stands using judgement sections on your SEF, you can pull that information through to your SDP, and from there you can list your school development priorities, assign actions to specific staff, make notes of resources required and more.
Department heads can create their own SEF and SDP forms for their subject or year group and are able to link their department priorities back to the main school development priorities. Any performance management objectives or CPD events added to other modules on the system can also be linked back to your priorities, giving the senior team a clear picture of what is being done across the school in order to address the School Development Plan.
Working SEF and SDP documents can be published at any time, allowing the school to keep a digital ‘paper trail’ of progress that can be referred back to at any time. Whether certain staff are able to access working documents or just published documents is down to the permissions you assign them.
All documents can be ‘printed’ straight to Word for easy sharing with governors, inspectors or other school staff.
