Overall comments
The school is clearly providing some excellent opportunities for staff (their intent and implementation were very clear), but the award process has not been followed sufficiently for the benchmarks to show any measurable impact. The validation meeting time was used to talk the SIA leads through what needs to be done to achieve the award, and they are now clear about what impact evidence to show; the school hopes to submit again in the future.
