Advice and timelines for schools in review
Schools must always have an active Annual Implementation Plan (AIP). Depending on the timing of their review, schools in review may have 2 AIPs in a year, one before their new School Strategic Plan (SSP) and one after their new SSP.
When going into a review cycle, schools should plan their pre-review AIP to extend until their SSP is expected to be endorsed. For example, if their review is in Term 2, their SSP will be endorsed in Term 3, and as such their pre-review AIP should be planned until Term 3.
Schools in review are encouraged to work collaboratively with their Senior Education Improvement Leader to determine how much detail needs to be provided in the AIP prior to review. A similar approach should be taken following the review, when a post-review AIP will be created for the remainder of the year based on the new SSP.
