An editable lesson observation form created specifically for special schools, supporting a detailed, developmental review of teaching and learning.
Prompts explore curriculum purpose and ambition, communication, specialist teaching approaches, regulation, assessment and independence. The form helps observers consider how teaching responds to individual needs, how adults support participation, and what pupils' responses tell us about their learning.
With space for pupil evidence, strengths, development points and agreed actions, it provides a practical starting point for supportive professional conversations. Adapt it to your school's curriculum, provision and priorities.
Schools can use the frameworks independently or integrate them directly into our Flourish Quality Assurance software, where evidence from wider QA activity can be stored, analysed and tracked using powerful reporting tools such as heat maps, trend analysis and action tracking.
