Your school's story, told well. For you and for Ofsted.
Most headteachers know their school inside out. What they don't have is the time, distance or capacity to turn that knowledge into a coherent, evidenced, inspection-ready document. The result is a SEF that doesn't reflect the quality of what's actually happening — or one that glosses over weaknesses an inspector will find in the first hour.
The new Report Card framework makes this more important, not less. Inspectors assess eleven evaluation areas on a five-point scale. Your self-evaluation needs to map to that framework honestly, with evidence — not aspirational language and templated headings.
This service exists for headteachers who want their school's story told properly. Not polished. Not generic. Properly.
All services are delivered remotely by email. You send your documents; I build the picture. Every document is bespoke to your school — not a template with your name dropped in.
Two documents, properly connected. A full working SEF built from your school's own evidence — rigorous, referenced and designed to drive real improvement. Plus a one-page summary SEF: the clean, inspectable version you hand to the lead inspector on day one. Includes honest diagnostic commentary on where evidence is thin and what needs addressing before inspection. Delivered in Word.
Twelve months of FGB minutes reviewed. A governor strategy written from your actual evidence — referenced to real decisions and challenge, not aspirational language. Gaps identified and highlighted. Inspectors notice the difference immediately.
Cross-referencing of your key policies to identify contradictions, gaps and inconsistencies. A summary report of what needs updating and why. Schools are often unaware how far their policy landscape has drifted — inspectors aren't.
A new policy written from scratch, coherent with your existing documentation, school vision and current statutory guidance. Properly yours — not a downloaded template with your logo on it.
This isn't a template service, a software tool, or generic AI output. It's bespoke writing by a serving headteacher who understands what inspectors actually look for — because she's just been through it.
AI is used to synthesise your documents efficiently — cross-referencing evidence, identifying inconsistencies, surfacing gaps in governance. The professional judgement about what matters, what needs saying and how to say it is human.
No site visits. No consultancy days. No endless calls. You send your documents; I ask a small number of focused questions; you receive a professional document.
Email to enquire. I'll send a brief document checklist — what I need from you and what I'll deliver back.
Previous Ofsted report, data summaries, key policies, CPD records, FGB minutes, governor monitoring records, school development plan. Everything by email — no portals, no shared drives required.
50% deposit by bank transfer. Work begins on receipt.
I may come back with a small number of focused questions — context that isn't in the paperwork. Exclusion numbers, persistent absence picture, anything the documents don't tell me.
You receive a full draft SEF with diagnostic commentary — honest identification of where evidence is thin and what action would strengthen the document before inspection.
The diagnostic commentary is yours to use. Address what you can, gather the evidence that's missing, brief your governors. Send me what's changed.
Final version delivered as a Word document — yours to maintain, update and build on. Balance paid on delivery. Done.
Email to enquire about availability and timescales. Include a brief description of what you need and when your inspection window opens. I'll come back to you promptly.
All work is carried out remotely. Documents accepted by email. Invoices issued by email. Payment by bank transfer.
