Introduction
The self-evaluation framework is about improving educational psychology services to deliver better outcomes for all service users. Schools have received a copy of How good is our school? The Journey to Excellence, which outlines ten dimensions of excellence. These do not cover everything which goes on in a school but rather focus on those aspects which have a direct impact on learning and outcomes for all young people. The ten dimensions and their related features provide an indication of some of the things which make a school excellent. The ten dimensions and the related features are also relevant to educational psychology services and their journey to excellence. Educational psychology services can support services and schools on their journeys to excellence and also examine where the service is on its own journey to excellence. For example, schools may ask the educational psychology service for help in working on the partnership dimension.
