Standard School Improvement Partner Package
JARVIS EDUCATION
Introduction.
Strong schools are not built alone. They grow through honest external challenge, expert advice, and consistent professional partnership across the year. The Standard School Improvement Partner (SIP) package gives your school exactly that: a sustained, evidence-informed relationship with an experienced education leader who knows the system, understands the renewed 2025 Ofsted framework, and helps you turn ambition into measurable impact.
Below, we explain what the Standard package covers, who it is for, and how it strengthens the work you do alongside your senior leaders and governors.
JARVIS EDUCATION
What is the Standard School Improvement Partner package?
The Standard SIP package is a regular, year-round external partnership built around your school's priorities. We provide a named partner who works alongside you and your senior leaders across the full academic cycle, usually through four on-site visits, validating self-evaluation, challenging assumptions, carrying out in-depth reviews of agreed curriculum areas or whole-school priorities, and helping you focus on the changes that will most improve outcomes for pupils. Throughout the year, your partner helps you stay on track against the renewed Ofsted framework and its sharper focus on inclusion, curriculum quality, and impact.
It gives you the assurance of an independent voice, the challenge of an experienced eye, and sustained, practical support you can act on across the year, the depth of a genuine strategic partnership, with a trusted expert who comes to know your school inside out.
JARVIS EDUCATION
Who is the Standard package for?
It is designed for maintained schools, academies, multi-academy trusts, alternative provisions, and SEND units that want a consistent external partner across the year. It works particularly well for schools navigating change, schools preparing for inspection, or settings that want sustained, structured support without committing to the full Comprehensive package.
What does the Standard package include?
We always shape our work around what matters most to your school, but here’s what you will get:
- A dedicated School Improvement Partner who will support you throughout the whole academic year
- Four on-site visits during the year, each focused on areas we’ve agreed on together
- We will help you check and confirm your self-evaluation and school development plan
- In-depth reviews of specific curriculum areas or whole-school priorities that we’ve picked out
- Joint learning walks alongside your senior leadership team
- Regular, open discussions and professional input with you and your team
- Written feedback after every visit, clear and detailed, to share with governors and trustees

How does the Standard package help your school, academy, trust, or alternative provision?
An external partner sees your school with fresh eyes and tests your judgements against the evidence. You move from internal opinion to external validation, which strengthens accountability and decision-making.
The 2025 framework places fresh emphasis on inclusion, curriculum quality, and impact. We help you understand what that means in practice and where your current work is strongest and weakest.
Regular visits across the year are professional development in action. You and your senior leaders work alongside an experienced partner, learning how to deep dive, gather evidence, and form accurate judgements yourselves.
Our written reports give your governing body or trust board independent, evidence-based information. Governors can challenge confidently, ask sharper questions, and make better strategic decisions.
Regular visits across the year mean concerns are spotted and tackled before they become problems. You stay in control of the narrative rather than reacting to inspection or external review.
Headship is demanding. A named partner gives you a trusted thinking space, a critical friend, and someone who understands the pressures of the role.
