The Isle of Man Quality Assurance Model is based upon ongoing school and educational service self-improvement, with the aim of supporting schools and educational services in personal and organisational growth, ensuring the best outcomes are achieved for all children and young people whilst enabling schools and services to work together. Throughout this process your child’s development remains at the heart of the Island’s education system.
External validation is a part of the ongoing quality assurance systems that are used daily within schools and services. It supports schools and services to understand the validity of their judgments, by providing rigour, focus, offering informed challenge and enabling reflection to allow schools and services to plan for improvement. The external validations will be carried out by an independent team.
Willaston School was visited by the external validation team on 1st October 2024. In preparation for our visit we produced an Executive Summary of our judgments against the criteria in the Isle of Man Quality Assurance Framework.
Below, you can find a leaflet that explains the Isle of Man Quality Assurance Model, and the Parent Information from the external validation team following their visit.
