Important:

For all consultancy packages that include a visit, this can include interviews with key members of staff, a tour of the school or specific areas, interviews with selected pupils, looking at existing policies, etc as agreed with the school. Where the school feels it is appropriate, further visits can be added for a more comprehensive report.

Written reports are provided as a means of providing supportive feedback, based on an external view that reflects experience of a large number of different schools.  The content will be based on a time-limited visit and as such represents a snapshot of what is seen, reflecting the accuracy of the information provided.  No report should be used in isolation, but should add to information that is gathered using other sources and methods.
