SPP’s model of peer review has become central to the ambition in Essex to be a partnership-based, self-improving system, while as an SPP Associate, Assistant Director of Education Nicola Woolf plays a significant part in developing and delivering the programme both within Essex and elsewhere.

“Now, more than ever, schools need each other. There has never been a more challenging period in education and the collaborative nature of peer review in Essex has had benefits, not only with school improvement, but also creating networks of support for school leaders.”

Kyra is dedicated to delivering a sector-led school improvement system where no child is left behind. All 65 schools within the Kyra alliance have engaged in SPP and they have successfully embedded school-to-school support.

Lesley Coulthurst, Head of the Alliance, is a key strategic advisor to SPP and works with us to maintain the pace, rigour and efficacy of peer review both within the alliance and beyond.

"SPP peer review has armed our Kyra Alliance school partners with a rigorous school improvement process by which to anchor ourselves through purposeful invitational collaboration. Leaders use the SPP model to confidently articulate the impact of strategic interventions within their schools, and through the process to develop future leaders, crucial to Kyra's succession planning pathway."
