The NACE Challenge Award Framework is a whole-school self-evaluation tool and process which allows an in depth analysis of provision with exemplification of evidence and action planning to improve.
The Framework consists of ten elements which together describe quality provision. Each element contains objective criteria and suggested evidence of what constitutes effective practice. It not only gives benchmarks but, with the supporting documents, shows you how to improve.
The Challenge Award Framework is being used by the majority of local authorities in England and many thousands of schools, including independent schools.
The NACE Challenge is commended in the National Strategy Handbook for Leading Teachers. See course file and handbook for Leading Teachers, pages 87- 89.
The Welsh Assembly Government have adopted the 10 elements of the framework as their National Quality Standards.
