Description
The SEF Inspection Resource Pack:
Demonstrating Outstanding Leadership to Ofsted
A well-written SEF is more than a compliance exercise—it is a reflection of your leadership, your knowledge of your school, and your drive for improvement. By using these resources, you’ll have the confidence to present a SEF that is evaluative, strategic, and clearly aligned with the new Ofsted framework. The combination of model documents and data templates ensures you are not only telling your school’s story but substantiating it with meaningful evidence.
Recognising that the process of writing a SEF can be intimidating—especially in the absence of statutory templates or standardised formats—this comprehensive toolkit offers clarity, structure, and inspiration. It enables leaders to present a compelling narrative of their school’s strengths and areas for development under the new Ofsted framework.
Purpose and Value of the SEF Inspection Toolkit
At its core, the SEF Inspection Toolkit is designed to equip you with the tools, examples, and templates necessary to illustrate your effectiveness as a leader. Not only does it guide you in articulating your evaluation with confidence and precision, but it also provides robust models of evaluative practice that align with Ofsted’s expectations. The toolkit’s strength lies in combining narrative guidance with data-driven evidence, ensuring your SEF is both insightful and impactful.
