# Orthodox SEF: Self-Evaluation for Orthodox Faith Schools

> The Orthodox SEF module provides a structured self-evaluation framework for Orthodox faith schools to evaluate against relevant inspection criteria.

The Orthodox SEF module provides Orthodox faith schools with a structured, collaborative framework for self-evaluation. It helps your leadership team evaluate practice against the relevant inspection criteria and produce clear, evidence-based summaries for governors and inspectors.

## What the SEF Covers

The Orthodox SEF module is organised to take your school from contextual scene-setting through to detailed, criterion-by-criterion evaluation:

* **School context statements** — set the scene before evaluative sections, so that any reader understands your school's circumstances
* **Progress against the previous inspection's priorities** — record the key priorities from your last inspection and document your school's response to them
* **High-level school development plan summary** — capture your current development plan at a summary level, reflected across the relevant framework areas
* **For each framework area:**
  * Individual criteria evaluations — record your school's position against each criterion
  * Optional evidence detail — add supporting evidence at the level of detail that suits your school, with hyperlinks for extensive documentation
  * A four-part area summary — actions taken, impact of those actions, current strengths, and priorities for further development

## Key Features

* **Evaluate at every level** — assess individual criteria in detail, then zoom out to a high-level area summary of strengths and development priorities
* **Hyperlink detailed evidence** — attach or link supporting evidence directly to the relevant criteria evaluation
* **Single-page area summaries** — each framework area produces a one-page summary covering actions, impact, strengths, and priorities, ideal for governors and wider staff
* **Dedicated context and inspection sections** — record contextual information and previous inspection priorities in their own structured sections, separate from evaluative content

<Tip>
  The four-part area summaries (actions, impact, strengths, priorities) are ideal for sharing with governors and the wider senior leadership team ahead of inspections and leadership meetings.
