REPLACING YOUR SEF

As the SEF is no longer a requirement but Self Evaluation is still a focus for schools, we can support you in this process. Use our new Self Review and Evaluation Summary Form as an effective but simple to use tool. 

This is alligned to the new Ofsted Inspection Framework (2012) focuses.

Please contact Terry Rollings by email terry.rollings@for-schools.org or phone 07917 080 205 for further information.

PRE OFSTED INSPECTION MOT
This enables you to be secure in knowing that you are well prepared for inspection. It is beneficial to schools who are close to inspection as well as those in the middle of a cycle. It includes:

• Analysis of your SEF, scrutiny of your School Profile, RAISE, School Improvement Plan and previous Inspection Report

• One day in school discussing systems and processes with leaders and managers

• Verbal feedback on the day

• A written report

MOCK INSPECTION

Be ready for the real thing with confidence

This provides you with the opportunity for an inspection ‘dry run' without the anxiety created by the 'real thing'. In addition to the activities within the Pre Inspection MOT this process also includes a pre inspection briefing and lesson observations - all the processes involved in an Ofsted Inspection. At the end of the visit there will be verbal feedback followed by a written report.

Critically, key benefits include:

• Validation of your school's review processes

• External validation of your judgements about the quality of learning and teaching

• Developing staff confidence through raised awareness and understanding of the inspection process
