5 Steps to Gold
If you've completed the assessment tool and are gold qualified, here's what happens next!
Any school wishing to apply for Gold will only be required to submit a small amount of additional information which is why the action plan you create should be the best it can be. Your action plan forms a large part of the consideration we make in determining if a school should be awarded Gold. Pupil voice and participation in the submission should be loud a clear, particularly with the evidence submitted.
· Step 1: School information – Complete the “School Details” on the gold questions template.
· Step 2: Action Plan – There should be a least 1 new or ‘in-progress’ action across 4 of the 8 areas of the award that have a due date within the current academic year.
· Step 3: The 3 Questions – The 3 questions below should be answered through the pupil voice. This can be through video (max 1 minute per video) PowerPoint, sway, Word, YouTube or any other method that works for you and your committee. Be creative – this is about telling your story!
· Step 4: Evidence – Upload your additional information, or if linking to external content, copy the links into this document and upload to your awards page. Evidence should be minimal and reflect the information requested in point 2. You are more than welcome to attach evidence you have already put together as part of the schools exisiting reporting, however we do not need or expect to see high amounts of additional evidence submitted.
· Step 5: Submit for Gold!
