The area they are working in is in school improvement and to help schools improve they have developed a system of auditing using 18 indicators. These are concerned with Teaching and Learning, School Leadership and Management etc. There are 104 sub-indicators to break down the analysis to help schools pinpoint areas for development. Schools undergo a process of School Performance Review which the whole community is takes part in.
We are going to be taking part in the process at the point of engaging with all stakeholders to inform the next stages of School Development Planning. After the next two days observing in schools we will be taking part in the community meetings (60 have been invited to attend at our school by the HT!) and then we will be helping the HT and staff to make the plans realistic and achievable.
After speaking to our HT today I think my partner Kate and I are going to be placed in an amazing school!
They already sound like they are making very good progress in a number of areas and we can't wait to meet all the staff and pupils tomorrow.
James the Head Teacher will be away adjudicating at the District music, dance and drama festival for the next 3 days which is a huge event across Masindi. We have been told that classes will only take place from 8am till 11am for the next two days so that rehearsals can take place in the school. Nelson the Depute HT will be in charge. I'm really looking forward to hearing the pieces that they are going to perform. The theme is on keeping children safe in school.
