"How can I audit pupil achievement effectively across all key areas?"
The 32-page audit framework guides you through systematic evaluation across six comprehensive themes, with structured questions and evidence prompts aligned to the Ofsted 2025 School Inspection Toolkit to ensure thorough coverage of attainment, progress and outcomes.

"What should I be looking for when reviewing leadership and strategy for achievement?"
Detailed audit questions help you evaluate the effectiveness of your achievement vision, strategic planning and leadership impact, with clear evaluation criteria that reflect how leaders prioritise and drive pupil outcomes across the school.

"How do I know if pupils are building strong foundational knowledge across subjects?"
Specific audit sections focus on curriculum sequencing, knowledge retention and the building blocks pupils need for future learning, helping you identify whether your curriculum design supports progressive achievement and deep understanding.

"How can I evaluate achievement in national tests and examinations?"
The audit framework helps you review attainment data, identify patterns and gaps in outcomes for different pupil groups, and evaluate whether your approach to tests and examinations supports all pupils to demonstrate what they know and can do.

"What evidence demonstrates inclusive achievement across the wider curriculum?"
Dedicated audit questions address achievement beyond tested subjects, including progress in foundation subjects, personal development outcomes and how well pupils from all backgrounds achieve across the full breadth of your curriculum offer.

"How can I review the quality of our assessment systems and data?"
Structured prompts help you evaluate assessment reliability, teacher assessment accuracy, data quality and how effectively you use pupil progress information to inform teaching, intervention and strategic decisions about achievement.

"What's the best way to evaluate the impact of our achievement strategies?"
The audit includes focused questions on impact evaluation and continuous improvement, helping you assess whether your actions to improve attainment and progress are working and how you adapt your approach based on evidence.

Voice-gathering tools and question banks help you systematically collect feedback from pupils, staff, parents and governors about achievement, progress and outcomes to strengthen your evaluation and triangulate evidence.

"What's the best way to identify priorities for improving pupil outcomes?"
The action planning template helps you synthesise audit findings into clear, manageable next steps focused on raising attainment, accelerating progress and closing achievement gaps with realistic timescales and accountability measures.
