SEFDescribing good or better
achievement and standards
What is laid down ordered factual is never enough to embrace the whole truth

SEFbull A process not just a product for an inspection
bull A summary of the outcomes of your annual review cycle in preparation for your school development plan
bull Apart from Sections 1 and 2 it should be evaluative and judgemental rather than overly descriptive
bull Should reflect your specific contexts as outlined in Section 1 and 2
Evaluating standards(Guidance to inspectors)
bull A broad range of evidence should be considered when evaluating standards This includes
ndash 1048708 the schoolrsquos results as set out in the RAISE report
ndash 1048708 the SEF and what it says about the latest standards in the school
ndash 1048708 the schoolrsquos data the work the pupils have done in the past and the knowledge skills and understanding that they are currently able to demonstrate
Evaluating Progressbull As with analysing standards it is important to consider a range of pre-
inspection and first-hand evidence for instance
bull the latest CVA measures
bull the SEF and what it says about the progress made by pupils
bull the local authorityrsquos (LArsquos)schoolrsquos own data analysis and progress records
bull discussion with staff and pupils
bull scrutiny of their work in lessons and what they have done in the past
bull the knowledge skills and understanding that they are currently able to demonstrate
bull the demands made upon pupils by the teaching
Tracking achievement and standards

bull Breakdown for different groups FSM SEN LAC EAL etc
bull Check coverage in RoL particularly if there is high mobility into or out of a year group
Attainment on Entry profilebull RoL only gives Average Point Score and profile for each
year group for the FS and KS1-4 bull As appropriate bull Identify variations in the 6 areas of learning of the
Foundation Stage profile
bull Identify differences in English (reading and writing) Maths and Science as the APS in individual subjects may be very different from school average
bull If possible give an ability profile ie number of students in each of the bands- well below average below average average above and well above for each year group ndash if they are very different

bull The extent to which any extended services contribute to better achievement and higher standards
Summary bull Consider the big picture but also focus on groups and
