From Self Evaluation to Excellence - (EFQM)
This programme adapts the European Foundation Quality Mark (EFQM) award process for use in schools with the overall aim of developing the school's capacity to apply a self-evaluative approach to school improvement. The programme is directed towards the principal and another senior member of staff. The programme is designed to develop the skills of senior leaders to use self-evaluative methodologies to review their school. It aims to assist senior leaders to develop a culture of critical reflection and self-evaluation. At the end of the programme schools will have the option of applying for the EFQM award but this is not a compulsory element as the process is considered to have its own intrinsic value.
