Lead / Self-Evaluation
School self-evaluation, evidence and signed snapshots
Student Radar helps leaders evaluate their school or provision against a confirmed framework edition, cite evidence and turn agreed next steps into improvement work. Deliberate signed snapshots retain the review; the workspace does not calculate an overall inspection grade.
Leaders choose the judgement after evidence review. Metrics and optional commentary support the account; sign-off records a saved snapshot rather than calculating an overall grade.
Set the purpose, record evidence, review the next action
Record the school’s judgement with its evidence, edition and review state.
Write area evaluations against a confirmed framework, cite relevant evidence, turn agreed next steps into improvement work and retain deliberately signed snapshots.
01
Explain the evidence and the remaining uncertainty
Leaders write a specific evaluation summary and choose a judgement only after reviewing what supports it.
02
Keep a saved narrative distinct from a judgement
The fictional Leadership and governance summary is saved while the judgement remains Not evaluated.
03
Review citations and evidence notes
Evidence references and narrative sit alongside the evaluation without setting the judgement automatically.

Self-Evaluation
Choose evidence rather than assuming it exists
The fictional evidence library is empty and offers the supported source routes without presenting missing evidence as success.
Self-Evaluation
Review the area evidence on a phone
The area dialog keeps its Evidence section and saved-state context at phone width.
Leadership records that preserve the decision and its evidence
Leaders choose the judgement after evidence review. Metrics and optional commentary support the account; sign-off records a saved snapshot rather than calculating an overall grade.
Evidence that supports a considered account
Citations, notes and gaps can be reviewed without making missing or withheld records appear satisfactory.
A retained version leaders actually reviewed
Signed snapshots preserve the saved evaluation while the working record and owned improvement work continue.
Questions about Self-Evaluation
Can we connect self-evaluation findings with improvement work?
Yes. Staff can review an area evaluation and turn agreed next steps into owned improvement work.
Can we retain the evaluation as a signed snapshot?
Yes. Review the saved evaluation before signing a snapshot. A signed school judgement remains distinct from an inspector’s judgement.
