Use templates aligned with national frameworks like Ofsted, Estyn, or HGIOS?4 to structure your self-evaluation. Invite senior and middle leaders to contribute evidence and judgements, building a shared and accurate view of the school’s strengths and weaknesses.
Turn your evaluation directly into a meaningful action plan. Because all evidence, analysis, and actions are in one place, your SIP becomes a living document that can be updated in real-time as your team makes progress, rather than a report that is filed away and forgotten.
Visually track your improvement journey over time. As your plans lead to change, you can add new beads to show progress. This creates a clear, evidence-backed record that is perfect for sharing with governors, inspectors, and your wider school community.
Gain a clear, evidence-based overview of your school's performance against key priorities. Lead a collaborative process that builds ownership, ensures team alignment, and simplifies reporting to governors and inspectors, saving valuable time and reducing workload.
Contribute directly to the whole-school plan by evaluating your specific area of responsibility. This sharpens strategic thinking and ensures that departmental improvement efforts are fully aligned with the school's overarching mission.
