As a school we have an embedded ‘What’s Working Well, Even Better If’ culture and, as such, fully embrace the Ofsted framework, seeing it as a powerful tool to school improvement.
Each Autumn term every teacher is involved in an in-depth individual and faculty self-evaluation exercise that highlights strengths and areas for ongoing improvement matched against all areas of the framework; this informs regular strategic planning meetings with Governors and shapes our whole school Self Evaluation Framework or SEF.
The full document is available here and is broken down into 10 key sections for ease of navigation:
- Contextual Information
- Safeguarding
- Inclusion
- Curriculum and teaching
- Achievement
- Attendance and behaviour
- Personal development and well-being
- Post-16 provision
- Leadership and governance
- Overall Self Evaluation Gradings
A useful summary document is also available here which shows the next steps in our ongoing ‘journey to greatness’.
