Part 3 How Good is our School 3Child at the
Centre 2
12

• The indicators within How good is our school?
  focus specifically on the impact of schools in
  improving the educational experience and lives of
  Scottish pupils.
• The emphasis on impact and outcomes reinforces
  the principle that self-evaluation is not an end
  in itself. It is worthwhile only if it leads to
• improvements in educational experiences and
  outcomes and
• maintenance of the highest standards where these
  already exist.

13

• To be successful, self-evaluation must be a
  reflective process based on a shared
  understanding of quality and a shared vision of
  aims at all levels of the school community.
• individual level
• collegiate level and
• whole school level.
