Delivering Improvement for Primary Schools and Academies

Download a PDF brochure

Perspective promotes and maintains continuous interaction between self review and improvement planning giving leaders access to information about the status of evaluations and plans throughout their school. This can range from the whole school to the individual contributions of members of departments or teams. Leaders can identify issues quickly and easily, and make sure that plans are focussed on key priorities, real improvement and impact.

Perspective provides a secure store for all the evidence related to a school inspection, plus the facility to gather the views of stakeholders from within and external to the school. This leads to robust and shared understanding of strengths, areas targeted for improvement, and collaborative involvement in the process; essential parts of an Ofsted inspection or internal review. All of these processes are linked directly to performance management, meaning plans and actions are relevant to individuals and to the institution as a whole.

Whole school key priorities can be created and tracked in Perspective; senior leaders and subject leaders can view progress of plans and evaluate when necessary. School leaders can also ensure school priorities are being tackled by disseminating targets across multiple departments. Perspective also provides leaders with a consistent scaffold to support them through the process of self evaluation and target setting by providing challenging questions, expert guidance, evidence sources and benchmarking statements. Perspective facilitates the monitoring of departments, ensuring consistency throughout, so that leaders can identify weaknesses, provide support, or recognise consistent themes or needs across multiple teams.

“The bite sized questions provide a step by step, meticulous guide to self assessment and providing relevant evidence. In this way a range of indicators and evidence can be gathered in one place. Updating the SEF is made simple because the programme is broken up into these small steps.”

Helen Harding, Headteacher, Hopton C of E Primary School, Suffolk

“The way Perspective splits the material into “Bite Size” manageable chunks is very helpful; SLT members can be given sections of this to look at, or more importantly, add comments into their own accounts. Any data or evidence can be stored within Perspective and specific elements of the SEF can then signpost and cross-reference to this data.”

Tim Power, Headteacher, Radcliffe Primary School, Bury

Would you like to know more?

If you would, then talk to us. We think that Perspective has a role to play in any school or academy achieving or maintaining its outstanding status, as well as supporting its internal processes, whether they be planning, monitoring or even supporting a DfE Funding Agreement. Therefore we would like to talk to you about how we could tailor Perspective to the needs of your school or academy.

Our team of educationalists want to discuss your particular requirements, explain more about our software, share our experience of working with senior leaders up and down the country, and then demonstrate how we work in partnership with schools and academies to create an implementation plan that drives out the goals you want to achieve.
