Move beyond static documents by using templates aligned with national frameworks (Ofsted, Estyn, etc.) to structure your SEF. Invite your leadership team to contribute evidence and judgements, building a single, coherent School Improvement Plan (SIP) that is understood and owned by the whole community.
Use the 'Overlay' and 'Stack' features to consolidate evaluations from your subject and middle leaders. This provides a powerful, panoramic view of performance, allowing you to instantly identify collective trends, spot and replicate best practice, and make informed decisions about resource allocation.
Use a personal abacus to reflect on your leadership against professional standards, such as the DfE Headteachers’ Standards. Evidence your impact, invite 360° feedback from governors or mentors, and create a visible record of your own continuous professional development.
Lead collaborative SEFs and create a single, shared improvement plan.
Gain a whole-school overview by comparing evaluations from subject leaders.
