How are you currently planning and tracking staff CPD? *

It's aligned to our SDP, tracked centrally and regularly reviewed

We have a plan, but tracking is inconsistent or manual

CPD is ad hoc - not linked to strategy

Can you quickly show the impact of CPD on staff development or pupil outcomes?

Yes- we track progress, link to goals and report outcomes

We have some evidence but it's patchy

We struggle to measure CPD impact

How do your middle leaders approach self-evaluation, strategic planning and and monitoring? *

They use shared systems and lead with confidence

Some are confident, but we lack consistency

There is not currently a clear, structured approach in place

What does your School Development Plan look like currently? *

It's interactive, live and clearly aligned to strategic outcomes

It exists but isn't used actively by all teams

It's static and rarely influences daily practice

How prepared do you feel you are for the 2025 Ofsted Framework changes?

We've reviewed our systems and are already adapting

We've discussed it, but haven't made practical changes yet

We're not sure what's changing or how to respond at the moment

Are you able to easily report on CPD and your school improvement progress? *

Yes - we use dashboards and reports for leadership, governors and Ofsted

We can gather evidence, but it's time-consuming

Reporting is inconsistent or difficult

How engaged are your staff with your current CPD platform or system?

Very Strong - staff find it engaging, accessible and relevant to their roles- this leads to demonstrable impact of CPD on pupil outcomes

Mixed - engagement and impact varies across the team

Limited - we don't have a system that supports consistent engagement or CPD impact

Overall how confident are you in your current school improvement systems and processes?

Very - our approach is strategic, structured and embedded

Fairly - we're making progress but it could be more joined up

Low - we're firefighting and need better systems
