Are you about to tackle the school self-evaluation form? Ciara Lamb shares some tips for writing your SEF, so you can be confident it is set up to effectively support your school's development

Be concise and evaluative

While there may be a lot you want to cover, make sure your self-evaluation summary is concise. Using bullet points will help, as they are easy to adapt as your school changes.
