How the draft SIP was created
First, let's cast our minds back to the summer term. As a board, you should have met with the headteacher and the senior leadership team to go over:
- Pupil performance data
- Financial data
- Results of staff, parent and pupil surveys
- Previous school improvement plans (SIPs) and their outcomes
- The self-evaluation form (SEF)
- Your last Ofsted inspection report
Your board should have set the objectives for the SIP at that meeting. Refresh your memory of this process and your board's part in it.
Since that meeting, the headteacher and the senior leadership team (SLT) will have drafted the actual SIP. This should be a detailed plan of:
- What specific actions to take to meet the objectives
- When those actions will be carried out
- Who is responsible for carrying out each action
- How progress will be monitored
- How you'll measure success
