Inspection evidence, generated by normal operation.
Three years of evidence cannot be assembled retrospectively.
Here readiness is a resting state rather than a fortnight of assembly.
Six performance standards
Evidence mapped as it is created, across achievement, personal development, teaching, curriculum, protection and leadership.
Self-evaluation
Judgements attached to the live records that support them, with gaps visible as gaps.
Policy register
Owner, approval date, review cycle and current version, publishing to the website automatically.
Inspector access
Read-only, purpose-scoped and time-bound, closing itself, with every read logged.
Readiness as a resting state.
Inspectorates give short notice, and a school's first inspection often lands in its third year. Three years of evidence cannot be assembled retrospectively. Here it accrues from normal operation, mapped to the performance standards as it is created rather than sorted into them afterwards.
Board packs from live data.
Attendance, admissions, staffing, finance and compliance trends assembled from the records rather than from six people's spreadsheets the weekend before a meeting. Governors get the level of view they govern at, without access to individual children, and every grant is time-bound and logged.
Full functionality
Every workflow below is specified with its trigger, its actor, the screen it happens on, the step sequence, the permissions and the edge cases.
01Mapped to the performance standards
- Achievement: attainment and progress across the statutory subjects, evidenced from assessment, target grades and reporting.
- Personal and social development and innovation skills: evidenced directly by the skills framework and the national identity provision tracker.
- Teaching and assessment: lesson observation, plan review and assessment data feeding the same appraisal cycle.
- Curriculum: design and rationale, coverage mapping, adaptation and enrichment.
- Protection, care, guidance and support: safeguarding, inclusion, attendance, health and the audit behind each.
- Leadership and management: self-evaluation, governance, staffing, facilities and parent engagement.
02Self-evaluation
- A self-evaluation that cites live records rather than restating claims.
- Judgements attached to the evidence that supports them, so a challenge can be answered on the spot.
- Gaps visible as gaps, which is more useful than a document that says everything is good.
- Version history, so improvement over time is itself evidence.
03Policy register
- Every policy with an owner, an approval date, a review cycle and a current version.
- The website publishes the current approved version automatically, so the public copy cannot drift.
- Review reminders to the named owner rather than to a shared inbox.
- Staff acknowledgement tracked where a policy requires it.
04Safeguarding and statutory audit
- Single central record generated from the underlying documents rather than maintained separately.
- Safer recruitment steps evidenced per appointment.
- Termly safeguarding audit with actions, owners and completion.
- Training and clearance currency tracked per person.
05Inspector access
- A read-only, purpose-scoped, time-bound view opened for the inspection window and closed automatically.
- Evidence organised by performance standard rather than by the school's folder structure.
- Every read logged, which protects the school as much as the inspectorate.
- No export without a separate named permission.
06Board and governance reporting
- Standing dashboards for roll, admissions pipeline, attendance, staffing and compliance position.
- Papers and minutes held with the meeting rather than in an email chain.
- Risk register with owners, review dates and escalation.
- Governors see the school, not the children.
