School Improvement Plan TEMPLATE

School Improvement Plan Template — From Self-Evaluation to Action

An editable Word template to help school leaders turn self-evaluation findings into clear improvement priorities, practical actions and measurable outcomes for pupils.

Suitable for headteachers, senior leaders and governors, this template connects your school’s context and identified barriers to a structured programme of improvement.

What’s included:

• School context and a summary of self-evaluation.
• An overview of improvement priorities, linked to evidence from your SEF.
• Objective planning tables covering actions, intended impact, responsibilities, timescales and monitoring.
• Link governor fields to support oversight and accountability.
• A half-termly improvement schedule covering the full academic year.

Use the template to agree priorities with your leadership team, allocate responsibilities and organise actions across the year. Return to it during leadership and governor meetings to review implementation and evaluate whether actions are making the intended difference.

Use alongside my SEF School Evaluation Form Template to connect evaluation with improvement planning. First identify strengths and areas for development through the SEF, then use this plan to translate your findings into priorities, actions and arrangements for monitoring impact.

Both documents can support an ongoing cycle of self-evaluation, action and review.

Please note: This is a blank, editable planning template for completion with your school’s own information. The linked SEF is available separately.
