Investors in Pupils online self-review

Welcome to the online self-review section. To facilitate greater access to our pupil voice, participation and leadership framework, this self-validation pathway meets schools’ need for self-review to be streamlined and fit for purpose. Comprising 18 strands, described by 58 grade descriptors (@ 3 per strand), self-review completion time ranges from 40 to 60 mins.

Self-review complements external assessment and, though previously limited to two consecutive self-validations, after which time schools have to submit for external assessment this has recently been extended to three consecutive self-validations (i.e. 3 x 2 years) in light of the impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic. Schools can, at any time, request a stand-alone external assessment visit. A further option of Self-review PLUS allows for self-validation to be externally verified by an experienced Assessor (within 12 mths of date of self-validation submission). Both Self-review PLUS and Self-review use the same on-line framework.

The outcome from self-review determines whether you are ready to submit or if further work is needed. Where you judge any grade descriptors as ‘Getting started’ or ‘Working towards’ a target automatically generates to populate an Action Plan for further editing. You can submit your self-validation with a maximum of 1 target per strand as long as the overall grade for that strand is either ‘Embedded’ or ‘Proficient’. Where more than 1 target is generated, and the overall grade for the strand is ‘Getting started’ or ‘Working towards’, you cannot submit and will need to continue to work on your targets.

Submission requires a nominated contact person/Co-ordinator and associated email address. This nomination requires Headteacher approval as does the £250 + VAT associated cost. Submission confirms your declaration that, following self-review, your school is self-validating as an Investors in Pupils school. Subject to satisfactory quality assurance this will be confirmed in writing. Further information on completing the process is available via the 'How To' tab in the self-review.
