Self Evaluation for the new OFSTED Inspection Framework


Inspection Coach is a simple yet powerful tool to help you prepare for school inspections in a fraction of the normal time.

Our “Virtual Inspector” takes you right through the School Self Evaluation process, making sure you haven’t missed anything and that you show your school in the best possible light.

You can upload evidence to share with staff and governors and create actions for your school improvement plan as you go along. It even automatically produces a self evaluation summary document for you that you can edit online or export to Word or PDF.

Inspection Coach was written in partnership with Focus Education, a company that has provided advice and support to schools for 25 years.


“Your software helped us to go from RI to Outstanding.”

Ken Heaton, Headteacher, Florence Melly Community Primary School
