The Ofsted Self-Evaluation Questionnaire
Each framework questionnaire contains over 200 questions. The SMT can cover all of these questions in the self-evaluation process. Or just access areas of interest in an ad-hoc way, to assist in general strategic management of the school.
For each question:
- A complete 5-point scale of typical practice is presented. (From “Exceptional” to “Urgent attention”). The SMT can use this scale to position their school in the appropriate judgement category.
- The SMT can add comments and context to their response. These comments can be augmented using the integrated AI tools.
Evidence can be tagged against each question. The evidence is stored in a secure library and can be tagged and searched for further reference.
Questionnaire Completion Status
After each response, the questionnaire status is updated, so the SMT can clearly understand where they are in the self-evaluation process.
The number of questions answered, the judgement level and the number remaining to be answered are clearly shown for every area of the framework.
