Whole Setting Improvement Plan Template - Linked to Ofsted judgement areas

A highly detailed improvement plan template that is designed to be an ongoing working document that allows you to fully document not only your identified areas of improvement but also improvements that you have made.

The document is broken down into the four Early Years areas from Ofsted: Effectiveness of Leadership and Management, Quality of Teaching, Learning and Assessment, Personal Development, Behaviour and Welfare and Outcomes for Children.

Each area is then broken down into priorities, which are then split into smaller, more bite-sized targets that will allow you to meet that priority and improve that focus area.

Each target gives you the opportunity to be highly detailed in who will meet that target, by when and how and also gives opportunity for evaluation.

It is a working document that is colour coded to show progression over time in each area.

It also has two additional sections to help plan and demonstrate management: a Continuous Professional Development Plan where you can detail the plans for different levels of staff and also parents and then keep a record of CPD and also a schedule for the year for various tasks such as supervisions, appraisals, parent, child and staff voice gathering, parents evenings, parent workshops etc. to help plan these so that they happen in a manageable way.

This document has been through Ofsted inspection where it was highly praised.

I have left a number of early workings on the document to give suggestions for priorities, targets and the other boxes that are there to support the improvement plan but these can be removed or adapted with ease.
