Questions School governors might ask their Head Teacher
o Are standards at the end of Key Stage 1 or 2 declining or improving?
o Are targets likely to be met?
o Are outcomes likely to exceed FFTB (Fischer Family Trust B Targets) or FFTD (Fischer Family Trust D targets) estimates?
o Are the outcomes different for individual subjects/groups of children?
Examples could be Boys v Girls, Summer Borns, Free School meals (FSM),English not as first Language, Traveller community,
o What additional steps are being taken to 'close the gap' for these children?
o Are the right priorities identified in the improvement plan or School Development Plan?
o What are the key actions/programmes/interventions planned to address these?
o How will the impact of these actions/interventions be monitored/by whom/when?
o Do we need to make changes to current provision/resource deployment given the needs within each year group?
o Is spending correctly prioritised?
o What is the profile of the quality of teaching across the school? How do you know?
o What steps will be taken to secure at least 'good' teaching in all classrooms?
o How reliable/accurate is the assessment data which is used to track individual
progress? Are there inconsistencies? If so, what is being done to tackle these?
o How often are pupil progress reviews held and how do these inform planning?
