Every 4 years, as part of the school planning, reviewing and reporting cycle, schools are designated a school or a school-led review. A small number of schools may engage in a differentiated or place-based review type in consideration of their unique context—these reviews are conducted by the SRR in collaboration with the school community.
Schools generally have a review the same year they are due to update their 4-year strategic plan.
School review
School reviews are conducted by an SRR-appointed review team of experienced educators trained in the use of the School Improvement Tool.
Through meaningful engagement and input from school staff, students and communities, reviews involve the evaluation of evidence and practice against an internationally validated framework for school improvement.
At the completion of a school review, the school is given a report which details key findings and improvement strategies for the school to consider further.
