Independent School Evaluation and Improvement Plan, 2026/27 edition, by HeadteacherChat

Resource details

An editable, ready-written evaluation and improvement plan for independent schools, set against Ofsted's independent schools inspection toolkit for inspections from September 2026. It covers every evaluation area, each with an evaluation grid and a matching improvement plan.

2026/27 edition. Updated from our September 2025 version to the current toolkit and its five-point scale, with safeguarding judged met or not met. It refers to KCSIE 2026 and to Working Together to Safeguard Children 2026, which replaced the 2023 edition in March 2026.

What's inside

  • An evaluation and an improvement plan for each area: safeguarding, inclusion, curriculum and teaching, achievement, attendance and behaviour, personal development and wellbeing, EYFS, post-16, and leadership and governance
  • Descriptors to highlight the statements that best match your school
  • Action, lead, timescale and impact columns in every plan
  • References to the current toolkit, KCSIE 2026, Working Together 2026 and the Independent School Standards

Who it's for

Heads, senior leaders, proprietors and compliance leads in independent schools in England inspected by Ofsted. Schools inspected by ISI should use ISI's framework.

Editable Word document, 41 pages. Delete the sections that don't apply (for example post-16) and check your judgements against the current toolkit on GOV.UK.
