Richard Challoner School

SSAT Accreditation

We are delighted that we have been successful in achieving accreditation at the highest level in relation to our Professional Learning programmes for staff development, and for our Principled Curriculum Design. In both these areas, our practice has been recognised as transformational.

Over the course of the last term or so, we have been working towards an application for accreditation in two strands of the Framework for Exceptional Education. Designed by the SSAT Leading Edge Network, a national network specifically for high-performing schools, this framework provides a rigorous and aspirational structure for self-review, peer-review, collaboration and planning in a number of key areas of school leadership and development.

We are delighted that we have been successful in achieving accreditation at the highest level in relation to our Professional Learning programmes for staff development, and for our Principled Curriculum Design. In both these areas, our practice has been recognised as transformational.

As well as affirmation of our current vision in these areas and the chance to reflect and then plan for future growth, this accreditation also gives us an opportunity to pause and express our thanks for the support that you, as parents and carers, give to the school - thank you!
