Make an evaluative comment about skill levels on entry and about children’s progress as the year develops.NB Inspection update from September 2013 states that a greater account will be taken of how well younger children are

taught. Children who reach a GOOD level of development across the early learning goals must be reaching at least a 2B by the end of KS1.

Make an evaluative comment about the progress of each year group relative to the progress of the whole school.Point out if pupil mobility makes a significant impact on the progress calculation or adjust the summer 2012 scores to

reflect just the pupils for whom you have 2013 data.Comment where appropriate on the context of each year group, for example if there is a high proportion with SEND.

Schools need to be setting appropriate targets for better than expected progress for individuals, groups and cohorts. ForKS2 it is recommended that this should be based on at least 4 points of progress each year. Better than expected progress over the key stage might look like this (4 points of progress on average each year):

The Quality of Teaching Self-EvaluationRefer to the School Inspection Handbook (September 2013) pages 35 to 38

Self-evaluation

Evaluation should include judgements about the overall quality of teaching over time (notably in core subjects), not just what is seen during planned observations. (Use evidence of the impact of teaching on pupils’ progress from lesson observations, scrutiny of pupils’ work and from tracking data.) Comment, for example, on: How well teachers’ expectations (differentiation) are based on frequent and accurate assessments; pupils’ engagement and enthusiasm; how well teaching develops skills in reading, writing, communication and mathematics as demonstrated by their responses; how well pupils are prepared for the next key stage in their education; the match of teaching styles to pupils’ learning styles and how well teaching engages all pupils; pupils’ understanding of how well they are doing and what they need to do next in order to improve; the quality of marking; the quality of questioning; the pace of lessons the quality and impact of on-going assessment during lessons; teachers’ subject knowledge and the clarity of their explanations; the quality of teaching and support for pupils with SEND; the use of homework and other strategies to improve pupils’ independence; the use of support staff. Evidence arising from observations of lessons carried out by school leaders; The views of pupils, parents and staff.Comment where provision varies for different groups of pupils.

inspection and those during the last year); governance is effective (clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction – contribution to self-evaluation, good understanding of the school’s

strengths and weaknesses and the impact of their own actions – develop their own skills to support and strengthen the school’s leadership – provide challenge and hold the headteacher to account, including the use of data dashboard and other data sources – use performance management systems effectively [see above] – ensure secure financial arrangements – ensure that pupil premium funding is used effectively – engage with key stakeholders – ensure that statutory duties are met.);ensure-the use of additional funding and the and the impact it is having on raising achievement and pupils’ physical wellbeing is effective. (new focus on PE provision 2013-14 ( governors and senior leaders will need to provide a brief evaluation of the quality of PE, pupils’ participation in school sport and how they have used the new funding to make improvements.

the school’s strategies and procedures help pupils to prepare for life in Britain today; the school engages well with parents and carers; safeguarding arrangements are effective, ensuring that all pupils are safe.

Defining spiritual, moral, social and cultural development

Pupils’ spiritual development is shown by their: beliefs, religious or otherwise, which inform their perspective on life and their interest in and respect for different people’s

feelings and values sense of enjoyment and fascination in learning about themselves, others and the world around them, including the intangible use of imagination and creativity in their learning willingness to reflect on their experiences. Pupils’ moral development is shown by their: ability to recognise the difference between right and wrong and their readiness to apply this understanding in their own lives understanding of the consequences of their actions interest in investigating, and offering reasoned views about, moral and ethical issues. Pupils’ social development is shown by their: use of a range of social skills in different contexts, including working and socialising with pupils from different religious, ethnic

and socio-economic backgrounds willingness to participate in a variety of social settings, cooperating well with others and being able to resolve conflicts effectively interest in, and understanding of, the way communities and societies function at a variety of levels. Pupils’ cultural development is shown by their: understanding and appreciation of the wide range of cultural influences that have shaped their own heritage willingness to participate in, and respond to, for example, artistic, musical, sporting, mathematical, technological, scientific and

cultural opportunities interest in exploring, understanding of, and respect for cultural diversity and the extent to which they understand, accept,

respect and celebrate diversity, as shown by their attitudes towards different religious, ethnic and socio-economic groups in the local, national and global communities.

24document.docx

Evidence of pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development can be found, for example, where pupils:

are reflective about beliefs, values and more profound aspects of human experience, enabling them to develop curiosity in their learning, and as thoughtful, responsible individuals

develop and apply an understanding of right and wrong in their school life and life outside school

take part in a range of activities requiring social skills

develop awareness of and respect for diversity in relation to, for example, gender, race, religion and belief, culture, sexual orientation and disability

gain a well-informed understanding of the options and challenges facing them as they move through the school and on to the next stage of their education and training

develop an appreciation of theatre, music, art and literature

develop the skills and attitudes to enable them to participate fully and positively in democratic modern Britain

respond positively to a range of artistic, sporting and other cultural opportunities

understand and appreciate the range of different cultures within school and further afield as an essential element of their preparation for life.
