Support, monitor, improve

As a trust, we are here not only to support our schools, but also to monitor and challenge educational standards.

To this end, we created the BPET School Improvement Strategy which sets out a structured cycle for school improvement over the academic year. Internal and external verifications ensure that the quality of education provision in the schools is high and that all schools are compliant in key areas.

By monitoring schools' progress and supporting each school in their improvement efforts, we ensure the delivery of the highest academic standards to all our pupils so that they can Learn, Enjoy and Succeed.

There are four formal visits to each school every year covering:

• Visit 1: (Autumn 1) SDP Focussed Review (1 day)

• Visit 2: (Autumn 2) Safeguarding Audit (1 day)

• Visit 3: (Autumn 2 or Spring 1) Learning Review (2 days)

• Visit 4: (Spring 2) Compliance (1 day)

Schools also report their performance data centrally on a termly basis, and these are followed up with meetings and action plans drawn up with the Director of Education or the Executive Headteacher linked with the school.

Support is also offered through external consultants, our Trust Champions and our Executive Headteachers, who collectively drive standards and collaboration across the schools.
