What was done?

A planned approach involving all stakeholders in developing children as leaders of their own learning. This was identified during an inspection and we wanted to find a new way to share the story. A sketchnote and materials from insp​ection have been gathered together in this template.

Why?

We wanted to find some new ways of sharing good practice from inspection. We know that using sketchnotes is a popular approach for providing a visual journey of activities.

Showing the primary school's 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 journey showing learning is better when children talk about themselves as learners detailed in the sketchnote clearly shows the range of approaches used to move the primary school to achieving an excellent evaluation in their recent inspecti​on.​
