Quality assurance
National Quality Assurance Frameworks can be used by schools/clusters in reviewing and planning the development of their Study Support provision (QiSS - Quality in Study Support) and Extended Services (QES - Quality in Extended Services). The QiSS and QES Recognition Schemes provide validation of this self-evaluation process at 3 levels, Emerged, Established and Advanced.
Study Support and Extended Services Consultants work with schools to help them gain this accreditation.
Below are some comments from Nottinghamshire schools who have used the QiSS process to gain recognition.
"This was a fantastic way to clarify vision and direction across the whole school and enable plans to be implemented within clear time frames."
"Useful way of evaluating current Study Support provision within school and also a good way of highlighting areas for development."
"An excellent way to celebrate success and also a fantastic piece of evidence for Ofsted."
