7. School review report
The school reviewer prepares a report to document the findings of the review, including key directions for the next School Strategic Plan (SSP). The report is quality assured by the independent review company, checked for accuracy by the principal, and then approved by the senior education improvement leader (SEIL). This process takes approximately 30 business days. If there are delays, please contact SchoolReview@education.vic.gov.au
The review report includes an executive summary that can be shared with the school community, for example, through publication on the school website. It provides a summary of the key findings and directions for the next School Strategic Plan (SSP). The body of the review report provides more detailed information for the school’s planning purposes and the principal should consider any privacy or sensitivity issues when deciding to share the full report.
The principal presents the approved review report to school council, with support from the SEIL.
The principal determines the extent to which the full report is shared with school community members, considering any privacy or sensitivity issues. For example, the principal can choose to share the full report with the school leadership team, the key directions with the school improvement team, and relevant excerpts with curriculum leaders.
Feedback on the school review process
At the conclusion of the review, the School Planning, Review and Annual Reporting Unit will email a survey link to principals, SEILs and challenge partners to provide the opportunity to give feedback on the review process.
Feedback can also be provided by emailing SchoolReview@education.vic.gov.au
