School Improvement
Where are you on your journey to becoming a great school? At SSAT, we know teachers and leaders in every school are striving to overcome different challenges to deliver a world class learning experience for the children they serve. Built around the SSAT Framework for Exceptional Education (FfEE) we offer a range of flexible solutions through in-school support and supported self-evaluation tools covering all school priority areas.
Framework for Exceptional Education
The Framework for Exceptional Education (FfEE) is SSAT’s flagship school improvement and planning tool. It is designed to support schools with reviewing their practice and planning for further development. It was written by the education team at SSAT with the support of a pilot group of schools from the Leading Edge network.
Attendance
Attendance is “everyone’s business”. Getting more children to school more of the time has never been more challenging or necessary. It is a challenge that schools are rising to, with rates increasing slowly year on year. Despite this, vulnerable student absence and severe absence continues to increase so more needs to be done.
School Culture Audit
As the saying goes culture is “the way we do things around here”. No matter whether you are a high performing school or one seeking to implement improvement, understanding the culture and sub-cultures that exist is key to a successful future.
Behaviour Support
This support programme with audit tool will support you to refine, modernise or re-invent your behaviour systems in your school, to meet the needs of all children in today’s more complex world.
Parental Partnership Accreditation
This accreditation recognises the highly effective work that member schools do to engage and collaborate with parents and carers. It provides a national standard for schools to benchmark their practice against and national recognition of effective partnership work with parents and carers.
RACE Charter Mark
Race and Conscious Equality (RACE) Charter Mark is for schools wishing to demonstrate their commitment to action and improvement in relation to race equality in all aspects of their work, as educators, employers and community leaders.
