Overview
Self-evaluations enable schools to continuously evaluate their strengths and areas for development against a framework and then share this at inspection. Keeping track of the many criteria and considering them both at the level of detailed evaluation, as well as in overview, is a complex task and often leads to long complex documents. Our system provides the structure to consider a school’s effectiveness in each area of the SIAMS framework and also set it in the school’s context and previous inspections. SIAMS inspections have special requirements for the inspection version of the SEF (two-page summary and no evaluation of “grade”) - and these are catered for in a special inspection ready print format.Features
- Track details against individual criteria and then zoom out to a high level summary of strengths and areas for development.
- Each of the individual criteria required for a good inspection are detailed and the school’s view of them recorded.
- Optionally, more detail about the evidence to support the evaluation of those criteria can be included.
- Very detailed evidence can be hyperlinked to the evaluation.
- For each area of the framework you can record a summary along with four key areas of detail: actions recently taken in that area, the impact of those actions, strengths in the area and priorities for further development. This provides a single page summary for each area which is extremely helpful for governors, wider leadership and all staff generally.
