A school self-evaluation form, commonly known by the acronym ‘SEF’, is a tool used by schools to assess their own performance and identify areas for improvement. This form typically includes a series of questions and prompts that guide the school through a process of reflection and self-assessment. The questions may cover a variety of topics, such as curriculum development, pupil achievement, staff development, school culture and climate, and community engagement. Our self-evaluation template covers the key areas that Ofsted makes judgments on, including Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership and Management and Early Years Foundation Stage. This will enable you to make an overall judgement on your school’s effectiveness. To make the form more manageable, you could divide it into sections that can be completed in one sitting or split between team members. Remember to note who analysed the document and the last time it was reviewed, along with the version number. Our full Ofsted Inspection Preparation pack includes this and so much more.
