Measuring our impact: An introduction for schools
Why measure our impact? Unicef UK needs to be able to see what impact Rights Respecting Schools are having for children. This helps us to improve what we do and to show the value of the Rights Respecting Schools Award to policy makers, funders and other school leaders
The impact evaluation is separate from the assessment. Awards are given based on the accreditation visits and how well schools have met the stated criteria However, it is important that we receive this data, so we will not normally progress with an assessment visit until you have sent the data to us
How we do it There are five parts to the data we collect: Information about your school (context data) Questionnaires with pupils Questionnaires with staff and governors Head teacher observations Assessor observations Each of these are explained in these slides
When to gather data This diagram shows a school’s journey through the RRSA awards. The blocks in blue show when we want you to collect an send data to us.

The data should be already available for your school (e.g. attainment and attendance data) Who? RRSA co-ordinator or someone in the school who can provide this existing data
Pupil questionnaires When? Before you go for Bronze, Silver and Gold awards What? Separate Primary and Secondary school questionnaires available on the website Who?
