Introduction to the self-evaluation materials

These materials are to assist schools in their self-evaluation. They have been produced by primary phase inspectors and headteachers. So far the aspects covered are:

• how well do learners achieve? 3a: Achievement and standards new self-evaluation form (SEF) 14 December 2007  91kb

• how effective are teaching and learning? 5a: The quality of provision – teaching and learning 14 December 2007  91kb

• how well do the curriculum and other activities meet the range of needs and interests of learners? 5b: The quality of provision – curriculum 14 December 2007  93kb

• how effective are leadership and management in raising achievement and supporting all learners? 6a: What is the overall effectiveness and effeciency of leadership and management?  106kb

Each is aligned with the latest version of the SEF and Hampshire County Council’s Moderating self-evaluation: processes and judgements (MSSE).

Each follows the same format:

• key questions (from SEF)
• statements by which to measure effectiveness
• sources of evidence
• a description of good practice and impact (from MSSE)
• a section (that can be expanded in these word documents) for the compilation of the school’s evaluation
• priorities for development.

The last of these sections can be used to prioritise the school’s key priorities for development – so feeding in to the school’s improvement plan.

The final section is an evaluation grid based on the OfSTED judgements – outstanding, good, satisfactory and inadequate. The overall judgement may be recorded on the front page of each document – hence deciding what is to be maintained or improved.
