School Improvement Consultancy
SSAT offers full in-school support and consultancy to help identify the areas which require focus and prioritisation in your school or multi-academy trust.
With an education team who are highly experienced as senior leaders or advisers, and who have expertise in primary, secondary, post-16 and special education, we can help you with:
Support for self-evaluation
We work alongside senior and middle leaders in your school to evaluate the accuracy of your current self-evaluation. We will test out your judgements by working with you, observing lessons and questioning key staff and students.
Curriculum planning and quality assurance
We can work with your senior team and/or middle leaders on the principles of curriculum planning and its quality assurance and offer follow-up support.
Curriculum conversations
Over two days, we meet your middle leaders a department at a time to review their curriculum planning to date. This is not a mock Ofsted but provides an opportunity for middle leaders to explore key questions that they would be asked during inspection in a supportive environment.
MAT strategic planning
External facilitation to support schools, MATs and others organisations with strategy planning and engaging stakeholders.
Specialist support
We can provide training and support in a wide range of areas that include:
- Curriculum and assessment
- Teaching and learning
- Leadership and management
- Lesson observation
- Attendance
- School improvement
- Training in using and understanding data
- Reviewing use of data
- Governance
- SIP support
- Headteacher performance management support
- Being ready for inspection
- Peer review training
Governance training
We can provide training for governors on a range of topics including roles & responsibilities, effective use of data and being ready for inspection. We will build a training package to suit your specific needs, with delivery offered in-person or online.
Senior leaders tell us that they have found the support and guidance we have provided invaluable and they praise the rigour and insight both in confirming what they believed to be good practice and in identifying areas of the school’s work which were not as well-established as they thought.
Our school improvement solutions are built around the ten strands of the SSAT Framework for Exceptional Education, which is designed to support you with the process of self-review and strategic development planning.
If you would like to discuss this in more detail, please call 020 7802 0955 or complete this short form and a member of our team will be in touch.
