What was done?​

A planned approach involving all stakeholders in developing strong leadership. This was identified during an inspection and we wanted to find a new way to share the story. A sketchnote and materials from inspection have been gathered together in this template.

Why?

We wanted to find some new ways of sharing good practice from inspection. We know that sketchnotes are a popular approach to providing a visual journey of activities. Showing the nursery’s leadership journey in this way will enable colleagues to download and print the sketchnote to inspire themselves and others. Using the prompt questions, reading the inspection report and quotes from the head teacher will enable colleagues to consider how to adapt and use similar approaches in their own setting as part of their improvement journey.

What was the impact?

The leadership journey in the sketchnote clearly shows the range of approaches used to move the nursery to achieving an excellent evaluation in their recent inspection.
