Quality Framework Award statistics

Since 2008, 355 supplementary schools have completed a Bronze Quality Framework Award

Of those, 40 have gone on to achieve a Silver Quality Framework Award and 60 have gone on to Gold.

We list the 276 that are currently valid on the Online Directory of Supplementary Schools

The Bronze Quality Framework Award demonstrates that you have all the necessary policies and procedures in place to run a safe and effective learning environment. It demonstrates that you have proper links to statutory services, that you check the credentials and suitability of your staff and volunteers, that you support them to develop their practice and provide the learning environment and resources that are need to deliver excellent supplementary education.

But don’t stop there! The higher level awards help you to develop and promote the teaching and learning that is actually taking place. Your Quality Framework mentors have lots of experience and skills in the field of community education, they can provide you with ideas, examples of good practice, opportunities to share with other supplementary schools. Their role is to act as a critical friend to support your development and to champion your work both locally and nationally through the NRCSE and other platforms.

We have a Gold Recognition meeting next week, and another one planned for March 2014.

We have two Silver Recognition meetings scheduled for January and March 2014.

But if more schools are ready we can arrange more, so get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.
