Improving Evaluative Writing Skills And Completing Ofsted’s School Self-Evaluation Form (SEF)

This module has been designed to support headteachers and senior leaders in the completion of the SEF.

Participants will be taken through a range of supporting materials similar in form to the evidence base in their own schools.

The aims of the module are to enable headteachers and senior leaders to:

  • devise efficient and effective methods of collating and analysing the full range of evidence they have gathered through school self-evaluation, including that generated by external agencies and other staff about children’s learning and achievements;
  • develop their skills in evaluating the evidence base and arrive at summary judgements;
  • improve their evaluative writing skills;
  • complete the SEF by responding to the key questions and prompts in each section.
