It is crucial to view evaluation as an integral part of planning and delivering brilliant residentials, but we know that schools often struggle to evaluate their residentials effectively.

We know that schools often struggle to evaluate their programmes effectively. This toolkit has been designed help you, as a headteacher, teacher or other member of staff responsible for planning or leading residentials in your school, to evaluate the residential experiences you offer. It can be used to evaluate a single residential or programme of residentials.

Here you can find help with how to design and plan your evaluation process – what to do and how to do it.

This is the most detailed section of the toolkit. Having designed your evaluation, it should provide you with more than enough of the practical tools you will need to begin collecting your data, as well as help to both analyse and write up your evaluation. You will also find additional tools in the next section - the Resource Library.

There is no point undertaking evaluation if you are not going to use it in some way. This section of the toolkit suggests six different ways you should consider using the evidence you collect.
