​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.

The review team look at a school’s performance data and speak with a wide range of staff, students, parents and community members to get a clear picture of the school, it’s affirmations and identified areas of 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.

For a quick overview of what is involved in a school review, watch the inside a school review video.​

School-led review

A school-led review consists of 2 phases:

  • evaluation conducted by the school
  • validation conducted by School and Region Reviews (SRR).

Through collaborative inquiry, school-led reviews aim to harness schools’ drive to help every student reach their potential. This evidence-informed approach empowers school leaders, in partnership with their community, to lead aspects of the review process.

As part of the school-led evaluation, schools use the School Improvement Tool to inform their evaluation and identify a particular focus area. Schools appoint their own team to lead the evaluation phase of the review and develop a school-led evaluation report based on a scan and assessment of priorities, performance data, lines of inquiry, community voice and collegial feedback.

After the school conducts their school-led evaluation, SRR leads a validation school visit to confirm the school’s findings and recommendations.

The school is given a report validating the school’s next steps and/or providing additional feedback.​
