- 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 the SIP 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
