School Improvement Planning Made Easy:
Software to link your SIP to your SEF and ECM agenda


Save yourself hours using our School Improvement Plan templates!

Headteachers told us that they wanted a School Improvement Plan that allows them to enter the results of their self-evaluation in a systematic way and that links throughout to the Every Child Matters agenda.

Using School Improvement Planning Made Easy, you can:

  • Copy and paste your SEF priorities straight into the SIP templates – the simple structure is based on the different sections of the SEF, allowing you to easily copy information from your SEF into your School Improvement Plan.
  • Reduce the time you spend reporting to governors – sections of the plan have been specifically designed so they can be copied from the original document and used for reporting.
  • Link into local and national initiatives – the plan gives schools the facility to link their work with local and national initiatives. It enables you to show how you are promoting the five key outcomes of Every Child Matters and how these link into your school improvement work.
  • Avoid the common mistakes that other schools make – use our worked examples to avoid the pitfalls that other schools fall into when completing their SIP. We include examples for both primary and secondary schools.

The product keeps you up-to-date with new Ofsted requirements and other developments such as the TDA framework and allows you to incorporate these changes into your School Improvement Plan. For example, recent developments covered in the publication include:

  • Guidance on the role of the School Improvement Partners
  • How to use the new TDA School Improvement Planning Framework to support improvements in teaching and learning
  • A plan showing how to promote Community Cohesion
  • An action timetable for implementing Target Setting
  • The implications of issues covered by recent DCSF material e.g. school attendance.

Updates are issued quarterly to reflect modifications to legal aspects or content, as well as for functional improvements. See order form for more details.
