We've made 2 proformas to reflect the most common types of school visit that you'll go on:
- Learning walks are where you'll go around the school with the relevant staff member to get a feel for a particular area. You're likely to talk to a range of staff members and pupils
- Formal monitoring visits are where you discuss the progress of the school in a particular area with the relevant staff member
If you're a governor
Use them to structure your visits, and as reminders of what to look for and what to ask. They'll also help you write up your findings to share with your board.
