Quality assurance
The responsibility for quality assurance and evaluation sits with the commissioning school.
As a guide the following key areas should be considered, but not limited to:
- academic progress & attainment
- attendance and behaviour monitoring curriculum offer including accrediatation for english and maths alongside a broad and balanced learning offer
- safeguarding and health and safety (including quality of accommodation)
- personal development and well-being (PHSE, pastoral support)
- the role of governors
- pupils’ and parent or carer views
- employability and skills for life – progression to post-16 destinations
- partnership working with other community based services (e.g CAMHS, police, YOS, health and social care services)
- reports (annual reports, Ofsted inspections)
Lincolnshire County Council recommends a minimum of three visits per year (autumn, spring, and summer terms) alongside regular reports. The scope and detail of regular reports (for example monthly) from providers should be agreed locally at the point of commissioning
