Many trusts want stronger visibility of standards, but generic monitoring often produces generic conclusions. At Oak Wood Primary School, leaders created “Diagnostic Days” using bespoke digital forms to review teaching, curriculum delivery and pupil outcomes through a subject-specific lens. This has led to clearer evidence, sharper improvement actions and stronger professional dialogue.

On 13 May at 12:30, SchooliP is hosting a webinar with Headteacher Neil Wilson to share how the approach works in practice and what trusts can learn. Monitoring is most effective when it reflects the curriculum you have deliberately built.
