1. Launch Assessment Part 1
Opening your free school on time and within budget is a challenging task. Our experience of working with schools during the pre-opening phase has taught us that it is easy to underestimate the quantity and complexity of the work involved. NSN has identified seven critical work streams that need to be completed in the pre-opening phase in order to give your school the best possible chance of long term success.
Part 1 of the NSN Launch Assessment is designed to help you gauge how prepared you are to manage the pre-opening process and the challenges it presents. Specifically, it will enable you to identify possible strengths and shortcomings in capacity or capability, or both. It also allows you to explain to us what you see as your most significant risks.
Feedback on your responses will be provided and explained to you as part of the launch assessment debrief. These results will provide your pre-opening project steering group with a useful tool for reporting to your members, trustees or other stakeholders, including your DfE Lead Contact, on your team's self-perception of its preparedness for pre-opening.
