Overview
Overview
Our popular flagship programme is a three-day rigorous peer evaluation. Headed by an expert lead reviewer, reviews are conducted by a trained team of headteachers and senior leaders from schools within Challenge Partners.
Working with the host school, they celebrate the school’s strengths and identify areas for development, looking closely at the experiences of pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds or with additional needs.
All review activities are joint and all outputs are agreed with the school – in a robust process that is done with, not to.

The QA Review Report captures your agreed What Works Well and Even Better If priorities from the reflection meeting. It focuses on three areas:
