School Quality Enhancement Plan (SQEP)
School Quality Enhancement Plans address objectives, their source(s), intended
outcomes, actions, responsibilities and progress which relate to academic standards
and quality matters as they affect the School as a whole. Following consideration by
appropriate committees in the School the SQEP is submitted as a component section
of the Annual Local Plan submitted by each School to the Executive Team Planning
Group in May/June each year as part of the annual planning cycle.
The precise nature and format if the SQEP will be influenced by the requirements of
Annual Local Planning as determined from time to time by the Planning Group.
As with the Subject Annual Self Evaluation Reports however, the SQEP should
represent a synthesis of the major, common and recurring themes, arising from earlier
stage of annual monitoring and elsewhere (for example external environment
opportunities or issues) with which whole School or significant parts of the School
need to engage. These may be issues that need to be addressed or good practice that
needs to be shared across the School and indeed the wider University. The SQEP
should focus on the issues and developments which affect the School as a whole and
should not significantly repeat or summarise each and every issue arising from
Subject, or Programme, level evaluations and plans.
Fewer actions, both to address issues and to promote good practice, which result in
success are better than too many actions that are not progressed.

TO INFORM ACTIONS FOR 2015/16 (where practicable) and 2016/17
Whilst the template provides information regarding the Quality Code Part B Chapters, it is not intended that each section needs to be populated but in some
cases there may be multiple entries for some sections.
Fewer actions, both to address issues and to promote good practice, which result in success is better than too many actions that are not progressed.
