Monitoring, reviewing and improving

Monitoring is how information is gathered. This is completed systemically across a range of activities within the school. Monitoring leads to an evaluation on the effectiveness of teaching and learning and the impact on pupil progress. Reviewing considers the outcomes from the monitoring and determines any action necessary for improvement. This informs judgements about the progress towards School Improvement Plan targets and actions. Improving ensures that schools continuously strive to become better places of learning for the pupils and better places to work for the staff. Monitoring the effectiveness of the curriculum is an essential element of the role of school leaders and subject leaders. Monitoring, reviewing, and improving activities allow schools to systemically gather evidence across the school using a variety of tools. The evidence collated allows the SLT to evaluate the impact of processes and procedures and decide on actions to progress towards next targets. Effective review of school life enables proper decisions to be made in relation to curriculum subjects.
