The School Leader's Document Pack: UK Edition

Eleven working templates for UK independent, faith-based and small schools, one for each domain of the School Health Check. Word, PDF and a spreadsheet.

Your Health Check told you what to fix. This pack gives you the documents to fix it.

Eleven ready-to-adapt templates for schools in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, each matched to one domain of the School Health Check: UK Edition. Every template opens with the chapter of Leading World-Class Schools and the Reflect and Apply exercises that explain the thinking, then gives you the forms to complete.
