New Opportunities Fund
Establishing a school system for Monitoring and Evaluation

The school co-ordinator should establish close links with tutors and/or service providers (including voluntary/community groups) to ensure that basic guidelines on monitoring and evaluating the programme are being met.

Tutor Programme Outlines
The school co-ordinator is responsible for reporting on the progress of each activity, including learning aims and objectives and ensuring that those engaged in out of school hours activities are aware of reporting procedures, so that a complete evaluation of each activity is supplied.

The school co-ordinator should use this information to complete the Annual Monitoring Report which should then be submitted to the Out of School Hours Learning Development Co-ordinator, who in turn is responsible for reporting to NOF.

The programme report can be for a single session or to evaluate longer projects, which might be for one or two terms, or the whole year. The purpose of the report is to:

Help clarify the aims of a session that can then be communicated to pupils
To encourage tutor reflection and self-evaluation of the activity, which can help the tutor to focus on the positive aspects of the sessions, highlighting areas that may need to be revised for future sessions
To achieve learning outcomes, which can help to measure the success of pupils who participated in out of school hours learning
Tutor Programme outlines should be returned to the Out of School Hours Learning Development (study support) Co-ordinator to provide a record of what has taken place in each activity and the information used to complete annual returns

Pupil Evaluation
Where possible the opinions of pupils engaged in out of school hours learning should be sought to evaluate the success (or otherwise) of each activity; this information can then be used when planning and revising future programmes.
