👉 This audit pack is part of our Complete School Leadership Audit Set, which includes eleven audits in one purchase, saving you money whilst ensuring you can evaluate your entire school provision across all Ofsted evaluation areas plus plus three essential good practice audits.

In a busy school environment with pressing priorities, school accessibility can often get overlooked. However, ensuring that your school environment, provision and processes are accessible and inclusive for all is of key importance.

Designed to support school leaders to audit their current approach and evaluate their strengths and next steps, this 19-page editable School Accessibility Audit template will walk you through the following key areas:

• Leadership and governance
• Curriculum and learning
• Communication and parent engagement
• School entrance and the outdoor school site
• Rooms, corridors and lighting
• Stairs and lifts
• Toilets and changing areas
• Fire exits
• Website and information sharing
• Equality adjustments 
  

Use the audit template collaboratively with key members of your team, such as your health and safety governor, premises caretaker or site manager, special educational needs and disabilities coordinator (SENDCo) and office staff to gather a picture of accessibility and inclusion in your school or college.

Once you've completed the audit, the template also includes a handy action plan, allowing you to document your plan for improving your facilities, processes and provision for all. 

Train staff on how to forge positive parent-teacher relationships in order to work together to support pupil behaviour. Ideal for behaviour leads or anyone looking to strengthen staff behaviour management in this area, this PowerPoint training session, designed to last for up to an hour, plus the accompanying behaviour management scenarios allow for collaboration and discussion, and is perfect for INSET days or staff meetings on behaviour management CPD.

This Subject Intervention and Provision Map Bundle is ideal for any subject leader who's looking to explore what additional support is given to pupils in their subject.

Aimed at primary subject leaders, this mini bundle contains two useful editable Word templates. The Subject Intervention and Provision Audit allows you to look in-depth at your subject and the provision, adaptations, differentiation and intervention on offer. This template is split into three handy sections that cover the following:

• Quality First Teaching
• Targeted Pupil Support
• Group Intervention

This allows you to explore the current offer for pupils who need additional support to attain well in your subject as well as changes that could be made to further improve outcomes for pupils. You can then use the Subject Provision Map to give an overview of the different types of provision and support available in different year groups as well as summarising the general strategies used by all staff to support learning. 

Understanding how pupils who need extra help, such as pupils with SEND or disadvantaged pupils, are supported in your subject is a key component of subject leadership, and is something you may wish to evidence in a subject leader file. For further support with creating, building and organising an effective subject leader folder, this template along with many more are also included in our Subject Leader Folder Pack.
