How well are we achieving our aims?

In order to assess how well the schools are meeting the aims of their curricula, a quality assurance framework is in place. 

The key features of this are the following:

• Moderation and standardisation of our assessment data, both in-school and externally
• Assessment systems which give national benchmarking data, such as PiRA, PUMA and No More Marking Writing Assessments
• Regular monitoring of the quality of education by the Senior Leadership Team and external advisors, including reviewing the curriculum intent, monitoring the sequence/scheme of learning in different subjects, 'pupil book study', visits to lessons, talking to teachers and talking to pupils.
• Half-termly School Improvement Visits by the Trust. 
• Termly updates of progress against the milestones in the Federation Improvement and Development Plan
• Read, Write Inc. monitoring visits
• Regular monitoring and analysis of attendance data
• Pupil surveys
• Parent surveys
• Staff wellbeing surveys
• Pupil coaching interviews
• Analysis of termly data 
• Analysis of behaviour and pastoral information
• Governors' meetings
• Meetings of the Parent Council
