Self-Evaluation Templates
Written in collaboration with national experts, our self-evaluations ask the right questions to help you identify strengths, areas for development and priorities for improvement. All our templates are customisable, so you can adapt them to the needs of your context.
Our Attendance Self-evaluation tool helps schools take a clear, honest look at the systems and strategies they have in place to drive attendance—so that every student is supported to show up, every day.
Our Behaviour Self-Evaluation, builds on the DfE’s ‘Building a School Behaviour Culture’ guidance, enabling you to easily examine the six key areas.
Our Curriculum Evaluation helps schools evaluate the elements of their curriculum against best practice statements. Up-to-date curriculum thinking and research has been used alongside elements of the Ofsted framework to provide you a thorough overview of all aspects of your curriculum.
Our Disadvantaged Evaluation enables schools to assess the quality of education for vulnerable learners, including the impact of their pupil premium strategy.
Our English as an Additional Language (EAL) self-evaluation is a comprehensive tool designed to support schools in assessing the effectiveness of their EAL provision.
EvaluateMySchool has partnered with Early Years expert Mark Lindfield to create our market leading EYFS evaluation.
Written by DfE advisor on inclusion and Executive Inclusion Office at OCMAT, Cassie Young, this evaluation aligns with the Department for Education’s seven principles of inclusion that underpin the new Inclusive Mainstream Fund. It helps school leaders evaluate and develop:
- Ambitious leadership and governance that embeds inclusion
- Evidence-based support prioritising early intervention
- High-quality teaching
- Accessible and enriching provision beyond the classroom
- A safe and respectful culture
- Strong partnerships with families and wider services
- Creating inclusive environments
Our Inclusion Base Evaluation is designed to support leaders to review the quality of inclusion base provision within mainstream schools, and can be used for SEN units, Resourced Provisions or internal inclusion base provisions.
This leadership evaluation enables all schools to review their culture, climate, and leadership in the context of the key factors that lay behind these schools’ success.
This evaluation enables you to use the MAT Assurance Framework to understand your capacity to support and drive school improvement – so that you can build and strengthen current capacity to support more schools.
This oracy evaluation enables schools to evaluate active listening, coherent debate, and dialogic talk. With a particular focus on disciplinary literacy, drama, and oral rehearsal, oracy statements allow leaders to pinpoint areas for improvement and strategic intervention.
Our Ofsted evaluation template aligns with the updated framework, enabling you to evaluate against the ‘strong’ criteria for each area for provision. There are options sections for early years and post-16 provision.
Written by Lara Hall, Director of School Improvement at LiFE Multi Academy Trust, our Safeguarding Evaluation provides a comprehensive analysis of your organisation’s safeguarding. As every setting is different, our template is adaptable to meet your requirements.
With input from David Bartram OBE, our SEND evaluation provides schools with best practice questions across 7 key areas. The evaluation helps to ensure leadership of SEND is strategic and has impact on improving outcomes for pupils with SEND.
Written by the Maximising Impact of Teaching Assistants (MITA) team, our TA evaluation supports effective deployment of this important part of the school workforce.
Referencing the current school inspection framework, the Whole School Evaluation allows you to self-evaluate your school(s) against the framework.
Our Whole School Safeguarding Culture Evaluation has been developed in partnership with Laura Page from Schools Supported. It draws on best practise advice and guidance to evaluate what it takes to embed a culture of safety for all.
Testimonials
Bedford Borough Council has rolled out the EvaluateMySchool SEND evaluation to all of our 70 schools. After trialling EMS through our partnership with Whole Education we were keen to use it to holistically evaluate our SEND provision. EMS is simple to use, and the evaluation enables us to create conversations with staff about SEND provision in our schools and across our local authority.

EMS’s Leadership Evaluation enables all schools to review their culture, climate, and leadership in the context of the key factors that lay behind these schools’ success. Taking an evidence-informed approach, it will elicit powerful next steps for any school on its leadership journey.

What I like most about EMS, apart from the ability to personalise the measures, is that it allows me to influence change by providing the resources to analyse evaluation results (comparing them to other schools if I was part of a group), track and annotate progress, and to actively plan improvements – all within the evaluation! This is so much more than an evaluation!

Gary Aubin, SEND Consultant – Whole EducationEvaluate My School provides a common language for schools to think about SEND. It has helped many SENDCOs I know, to keep themselves strategic in what can be a very operational role. It helps leaders, who might not feel confident in relation to SEND leadership, to understand the part they can play in developing provision for pupils with SEND.
I highly recommend EvaluateMySchool. We used the tools to help evaluate and prepare next steps for strategic development ahead of our Ofsted inspection. Evidence of leadership and improvement all in one online space!.

EvaluateMySchool has been pivotal at identifying patterns and trends in SEND practice, and recognising where our strengths and areas for development are, which has then fed directly into my SEND strategy. The platform allows easy reporting, recording of conversations, assigning of actions and also the ability to upload evidence. The visual graphics allow quick snapshots into progress made at academy and MAT level, as well as identified groups of schools by phase.
Simon Tanner, National Director of SEND, E-ACT
Timothy James, Director of SEND, The White Horse FederationEMS involves various stakeholders, including support staff, teachers, SLT, SENCOS, and Governors. It fosters a sense of ownership and collaboration, by engaging these stakeholders in the evaluation process. Their input can provide valuable perspectives and contribute to a more comprehensive evaluation.
