Quality Assurance

Quality Assurance is everyone’s responsibility. It is based on building on success and aiming for excellence through systematic approaches to collecting evidence to measure, manage and improve performance. Every establishment will have its own Quality Assurance and Improvement
processes and policy. This will enable establishment priorities to be clearly stated and annual progress monitored and evaluated.

Establishments should have an agreed annual calendar of monitoring which may include:
• Classroom observation
• Sampling of children and young people’s work
• Discussions with staff
• Working in classrooms or playrooms
• Sampling the views of stakeholders, including children and young people
• School attainment data
