An important
person in this process is our Hertfordshire Improvement Partner, or HIP. HIPs are employed by the Local Authority and
are typically former Headteachers or education professionals:
‘HIPs act as
a critical professional friend to the school, helping to evaluate performance,
identify priorities for improvement, and plan effective change.’
Last Thursday our HIP, Mrs Bremner, was in school to carry out a regular review (or JARV). She observed lessons, looked at
the academic performance data for reading, writing and maths, reviewed the children’s
books and analysed the school’s action plan with Mrs Comer.
It was an interesting and productive day. Mrs Bremner was very pleased with what she saw
in school and she offered really excellent professional advice to
make the school even better in the future. We look forward to her next visit.
