Hi Diane and John
This looks great!
Can I make one or two suggestions? I wonder if we need to be more
specific and direct teachers to include the essential information?
i.e.-
Please give a short description of each activity, explaining the
aim, content and outcome of each activity. Also include the
different curriculum subjects involved and the number and age of
pupils engaged in each activity.
Then provide some evidence of the work. You can for example include
extracts from the school development plan and from schemes of work,
photos, emails, newspaper cuttings, samples' of pupils work,
teachers' reports, meeting notes, quotes from parents, partner
schools or others that were involved. We suggest two or three pieces
of evidence for each activity.
Finally, include some evaluations from some of the people involved
in each activity.
Activity 1
JUST ADD SOME TEXT ABOUT ACTIVITY 1 HERE, THEN UPLOAD SOME EXAMPLES
OF WORK AND/OR PHOTOS.

Evidence of outcomes - you can, for example, include extracts from
the school development plan and from schemes of work, photos,
emails, newspaper cuttings, samples' of pupils work, teachers'

others that were involved. We suggest two or three pieces of
evidence for each activity.
Finally, include no more than three evaluations from some of the
people involved in each activity (pupils, teachers, parents or
visitors)
I think it is important that if schools want to submit online all
applications need to be in the same format. This will help to speed
up the adjudication process.
Hope this is useful.

Is there any way that the school will be able to see the whole
document such that they could make a hard copy for showing to
colleagues?
It might also be rewarding for teachers to see how the compilation
is looking at regular intervals, assuming they will be putting this
together over a long period?

Hard copy is not really a possibility with this format.
Re your earlier point, I think the inclusion of the summary document
and cover sheet pages takes care of most of these points - there
should be no qualitative difference between this and a normal
portfolio now.
