The Framework for Exceptional Education is the SSAT’s flagship school improvement framework. It offers a principled approach to ongoing school improvement that will take us beyond statutory inspection frameworks. The framework provides a structure for self-review and action-planning that supports Parklands in our journey to world class.
Parklands Academy has recently achieved accreditation for transforming practice under SSAT's Framework for Exceptional Education. The Framework for Exceptional Education is a self-review and planning tool incorporating SSAT's 30 years of experience in school improvement. Co-developed with a group of high-performing schools and reviewed by leading academics, the framework supports schools in quality-assuring their work and sharing effective practice. To achieve accreditation as transforming in practice, Parklands Academy was reviewed by another high-performing school and an independent moderator from SSAT. SSAT's Chief Executive, Sue Williamson comments "for a school to be accredited for transforming practice is a real credit to their team and the quality of the work that they are doing."
