The Improving Schools Programme

 *link mended!

ISP is a supported whole-school improvement programme.  The core elements central to ISP support the development of school-wide systems to raise standards, accelerate and sustain progress, build leadership capacity and support school self-evaluation.  The programme focuses on children’s learning and the skills, knowledge and understanding that teachers and headteachers need to enable all children to make good progress and achieve success as learners.

This leaflet provides information for schools, School Improvement Partners and Local Authorities about the core elements of ISP. It shares the learning from ISP and explains what works in supported school improvement and why.

Tracking –provides a picture of pupil progress at whole school and class level and provides a focus for professional dialogue to support assessment for learning and personalisation

Explicit focus on learning & teaching –identifies the key areas of learning & teaching that are priorities and quality first teaching as an entitlement for all pupils

The single plan drives the improvement against school priorities and is informed by self-evaluation and links to the school improvement plan

Pupil Progress Meetings – provide a regular timetabled forum for analysis and discussion of the factors that have supported progress and identifies collaborative actions to overcome barriers to progress

Whole-school systematic CPD –focuses professional learning around the agreed priorities.
