Extended Schools - Self-Evaluation Commentary

Guidance: This document is intended to support the schools and/or group of schools action plan for implementation. It allows the school to develop a coherent and evaluative commentary to support the decisions and progress made in the implementation and sustaining of Extended School status.

The document should become an ongoing record of progress against the key milestones and success criteria of the action plan. As such it should be updated regularly (termly basis) and form part of the reporting mechanism of progress to the Governing Body, Directorate of Children' s Services of the Local Authority and the wider community.

Preparation of the commentary should be closely correlated with the school's new format OFSTED SEF. The format of this document has been closely matched to the new OFSTED SEF to allow for the ease of transfer and correlation of information. It is not intended to require additional work from schools but to enhance the effectiveness of the school's ability to demonstrate within its OFSTED inspection the impact of the five outcomes for its pupils and community.
