For me, the only audience for your school self-evaluation is your lead inspector. It’s purpose is to put an idea in his/her head of the grades you feel your school deserves.

 

Both these dialogic tools will talk you through how to build a positive, persuasive and convincing self-evaluation. 

Please use in your school, or cannibalise bits from them! I’ll update the tools when I’ve done my summer Ofsted training and have a better feel for what inspection will look like. 

If you’d like help with refining your self-evaluation, please get in touch. I can do that from a distance, using all your current and past data and you’ll end up with a document with arguments which will help you be prepared for inspection and able to begin to take control of the process.
