Start with priorities.
Identify the pupils or cohort, the intended outcomes and the existing support. A clear brief helps establish what the programme must contribute.
Consider the practical requirements.
Delivery format, duration, mentor capacity, reporting and preparation all affect the scope. Discuss investment alongside these requirements.
Agree how value will be reviewed.
Set realistic success measures and review points. Compare the proposed approach with the school’s needs rather than assuming a headline return from another setting will apply.
