Observation of teaching, learning & assessment using Ofsted criteria

Observation plays a pivotal role within the quality of teaching learning and assessment to ensure that all learners are receiving a high standard of education which will enable them to progress in life, learning and work.  A strong observation system provides a secure platform to build effective support and CPD for teachers, contributes to an accurate SAR and QIP as well as tracking and monitoring of learners to name a few.
